Food Grade Tallow
Grass-fed beef tallow isn’t just flavorful and a great local option for high-heat cooking, it’s also a healthy option. Tallow contains linoleic acid which is considered a natural anti-inflammatory. Grass-fed beef tallow is rich in vitamin A and vitamin D.
Tallow is shelf stable so no need to refrigerate, just keep it in an airtight container like a mason jar. You can keep grass-fed tallow on the kitchen counter for a year. It’s easy to scoop at room temperature and hardens in the refrigerator.
Beef tallow is made from the fat that surrounds the kidneys, so it's an animal fat rather than a vegetable oil. This means it contains some vitamins and minerals and may even have more health benefits than some vegetable oils.
It's good for a variety of cooking methods, especially those that call for high heat since it has a very high smoke point. It can also be used as a cooking oil in a lot of recipes where you might use coconut oil.
