Product description
Shortening is a fat that's used in baking, frying, and other cooking to create texture, flavor, and stability.
Creates flaky, crumbly textures: Shortening prevents gluten from forming, which leads to crumbly textures in cookies, biscuits, and pie crusts.
Maintains softness: Shortening retains its soft, semi-solid form when it cools, which helps baked goods stay soft.
Safer at high temperatures: Shortening's high smoke point and lack of water content reduce the likelihood of splattering or popping.
Shortening can be used in chocolate and confectionery items, dessert fillings, creams, and sauces.
Shortening's white color and neutral flavor make it a good choice for many recipes.
Shortening can last for up to two years if unopened, and about a year after opening. It should be stored in a cool, dark place.
