Animal Fat

Animal Fat is rendered fat from animals (for example lard or tallow) commonly used for frying, roasting and baking in many cuisines; it is valued for its cooking stability and rich mouthfeel. Nutritionally it is energy-dense and primarily a fat source, providing about 92.2g of fat per 100g, with very little carbohydrate or fiber. While it supplies some fat-soluble nutrients like vitamin E and small amounts of vitamin B12, it is also relatively high in saturated fat, so it’s best used sparingly as part of a varied diet rather than as an everyday primary fat.
