I ordered this because I wanted to make a GAPS legal version of peanut butter cups, and the recipe called for this. This organic shortening is made from palm oil, so it is fine for those following the GAPS diet.
The recipe I was using included 2 Tablespoons of this organic palm shortening in the peanut butter filling portion of my peanut butter cups.
This doesn't have a very strong flavor, so the peanut butter filling was delicious!
I think that it is better to use good coconut oil for most things that call for oil, so I don't plan to use this a whole lot, but I am happy with how my peanut butter cups turned out, and I will continue to use this container 2 Tablespoons at a time.

This shortening works very well in biscuits, pie crusts & cookies. I have also used it successfully when frying potatoes.

I had to look around for a reasonable price for this product since Amazon doesn't carry it anymore. I finally found Vitacost here at Amazon and their price and shipping were fantastic! I don't know why this product is so hard to find. It is the best alternative to using Crisco since they removed the trans fat and ruined the flavor of their product. Palm oil shortening contains no trans fat or hydrated oils and it is actually healthier than Crisco with far better flavor. I use it in my baking and cooking when some fat is required. If you found the new breed of Crisco is not working for you, try Spectrum organic palm oil shortening, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
