From the manufacturer

Spectrum Essentials Organic All Vegetable Shortening

Spectrum Essentials Organic All Vegetable Shortening is better for your body than ordinary shortening because it's never hydrogenated, has zero grams of trans fat, and is made from palm oil, which is naturally cholesterol free and a good source of heart healthy monounsaturated fat. Even better are dozens of small family farmers in Columbia who cultivate and press our palm oil in an environmentally sustainable manner. It's good for you, the farmers and the earth, just imagine what it does for a pie crust. Cholesterol free; Less saturated fat than butter; Vegan-dairy free; Kosher-KSA; Gluten free. Product of Columbia.

Ingredients

Mechanically pressed organic palm oil.

Product Description

Spectrum Naturals started over twenty years ago with the purpose of making a variety of oils available to the American public. The Spectrum Naturals brand line of culinary oils and vinegars includes more than 30 varieties of seed, nut and plant oils including coconut oil, as well as a variety of vinegars, mayonnaise products, cooking sprays and non-hydrogenated shortening, many of which, over 50%, are organic. In the Spectrum Naturals brand product line, gourmet food lovers will find extra virgin olive oils from Spain, Italy and Tunisia, each estate grown and produced in small batches.

Best Before Date Was 1 Month From Purchase Date
I have never used this product, but it was highly recommended to me. I received 4 tubs in good condition, BUT when I looked at the "BEST BY" date it is only 1 month away. I know that generally, shortening is good well beyond the BEST BY date, however, I do think this is an abusive situation & I am advising others to BEWARE.

I bought this so my daughter-in-law can do her baking without butter. My toddler granddaughter has serious allergies to dairy, eggs and peanuts...and this is dairy free and 100% vegan, no hydrogenated fats! My DIL made blueberry pie tonight for a BBQ, and the crust was light and flaky. THe only thing lacking was the buttery taste (there is a safe 'butter' extract you can find in the supermarkets that solves that problem); however, that part for now is unimportant b/c this product has solved a big problem--avoiding food allergies for my granddaughter while the rest of us share in the healthy ingredients.

UPDATE: August 2010--I bought this in May at $21.60 for four, and thereafter it was almost TRIPLE the price--What's THAT all about!!! Outrageous! With this product it is clear you have to keep tabs on changing prices. I was at a health food store a few days ago and found this for sale at under $8 each, better price than buying this from Amazon right now!

Spectrum Naturals Organic Shortening is made of palm oil and is a much better alternative than Crisco and some of the others. I don't use this a lot because I don't bake too often but when I do I feel confident this is a better choice. I've used it for fried chicken a couple of times - we usually grill, broil or bake chicken but when my mother wants hers fried, this works very well. I can't buy this product at our grocery store, they don't carry it. Once again, amazon.com helped me find it fast. The dates on the containers are good meaning the item is fresh. It was packaged well and was not all beat up when it arrived. Since I got 4 of them, I shared with a couple of friends.

This product in itself is a good product. I have used in the past for baking and it works well, but not as well as Tropical Traditions. Also the price has nearly doubled since I no longer see it being sold by Amazon. These outside sellers are really ripping us off. If you want an excellent palm shortening from a reliable company go with Tropical Traditions. They sell their product at a fair price with fast and excellent delivery.

Update: November 6, 2012
I have since found a more reasonable vender for this product at Amazon. I just ordered 3- 24oz. containers from Vitacost for $27.10 including shipping. That comes to $9.03 per container a much better price indeed.

This is not butter flavored so it does not enhance the scent of the baked item but neither is it animal shortening so it does not contribute any gaminess.

I first used Spectrum shortening as a substitute for the products with hydrogenated and partially hydrogenate oils due to their link to cardiovascular disease. I can't find Spectrum anymore where I live and am grateful to find it on Amazon. Anyway, I stay away from the hydrogenated oils but I must warn that it takes me three times as long to shop as so many products in the grocery stores are full of these bad oils. Even more frustrating is finding a product I like that doesn't contain hydrogenated oils only to discover later that the company has added it in the ingredients list. As I mentioned, shopping takes me awhile due to having to read the labels on everything but, really, how much is your heart worth? If you find a product that does not contain hydrogentated oils, let these companies know how much you appreciate it. Hydrogenated oils are bad because the human body cannot break it down and it stays in your system a long time - I read somewhere that it stays for something like 51 days. Cutting out the hydrogenated oils is a big commitment because it is in margarine, frozen dinners, boxed dinners/entrees, cookies, cakes (boxed or already baked), many crackers, some ready to eat breads and puddings, most frozen pizzas, many of the microwave popcorns, but I have gotten used to it and my kids are appreciative of the healthier foods. Hopefully, companies will start eliminating these bad oils from their products if consumers start avoiding them. Hydrogenated oils are used to extend shelf life and provide a creamier texture.

Four tubs arrived absolutely covered in shortening that had leaked/spilled/etc. Furthermore, the shortening had a greenish tint. I took out a near empty container (same brand, etc) I already had at home (and that I had bought from Whole Foods) to find that the read stuff is nearly pure white. My guess is that this is some kind of scam where empty shortening containers are filled with cheap crisco and then poorly resealed and shipped to suckers. Don't be a sucker.
