Common Questions
What shortening is not hydrogenated and has no trans fat?
Our Spectrum Organic All Vegetable Shortening is never hydrogenated and has 0g trans fat per serving. Many older shortenings were made solid by partially hydrogenating liquid oils, which is how trans fats got into baking. Palm oil is naturally semi-solid at room temperature, so it can work as a shortening without that step. Ours is made from organic palm oil alone. It is a non-hydrogenated fat food. See nutritional information for saturated fat content.
What kind of fat makes the flakiest pie crust?
Shortening is a classic choice for a flaky, tender pie crust. As we like to say about ours, just imagine what it does for a pie crust. Shortening is 100% fat with no water, and it stays firm over a wider temperature range than butter. That makes the dough easier to handle and helps keep the separate layers of fat that turn into flakes. Many bakers use all shortening or mix it with butter for flavor. Ours has a neutral taste, so it won't compete with your filling.
Can you fry with vegetable shortening, and how hot can it go?
Yes. Our Spectrum Organic All Vegetable Shortening is suitable for frying, and the package rates it for high-heat use up to 450°F. Most deep frying and pan frying happens around 350 to 375°F, so that leaves a good margin. Because it is all-vegetable, it works for plant-based frying where you might otherwise reach for lard.
What is Spectrum Organic Shortening made from?
Our Spectrum Organic All Vegetable Shortening has one ingredient: organic palm oil. The oil is expeller pressed, which means it is extracted mechanically by pressing. Each package holds 24 oz (1 lb 8 oz), or 680 g, and it contains 110 calories per serving.
Where does the palm oil in Spectrum shortening come from, and is it sustainably sourced?
The palm oil in our Spectrum Organic All Vegetable Shortening comes from Colombia, and the shortening is Fair Trade Certified. Funds and investments from your purchase help dozens of producers there harvest and press our palm oil in a sustainable manner, ensuring prosperous livelihoods for the earth and producer both.
Is Spectrum Organic Shortening organic, non-GMO, gluten free and kosher?
Yes to all four. Our Spectrum Organic All Vegetable Shortening carries the USDA Organic seal and is Certified Organic by QAI, is Non-GMO Project Verified, is Certified Gluten Free, and is kosher. It is also Fair Trade Certified.
How should I store Spectrum Organic Shortening?
