HEALTH BENEFITS
- Aids absorption of fat-soluble micronutrients from vegetables and meats
- Provides a stable energy source with no glycemic impact
- Naturally free of carbs and seed-oil additives

PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS
HIGH-HEAT FRYING
Use for deep- or pan-frying thanks to heat stability—great for *chicken-thighs, pork-chops, or turnip* fries.
ROASTING VEGETABLES
Toss *brussels-sprouts, cauliflower, or broccoli* with melted tallow; roast until crisp and caramelized.
SEARING STEAKS
Sear *ribeye-steak or t-bone-steak* in hot tallow for a steakhouse crust and beefy aroma.
TRADITIONAL COOKING
Use in classic stews or pot roasts; a spoonful adds body and savory depth.
