Tenderflake has been known as the ingredient that makes the flakiest pastry. Tenderflake is your "secret ingredient" whenever you want results with that baked-just-for-you personal touch. We are increasingly concerned about trans fats in our diets. Trans fats, though naturally occurring in animal fat, are also created through a chemical process, which turns liquid oils into a semi-solid form, such as that in shortenings and some margarine. This process is referred to as 'partial hydrogenation'. Partial hydrogenation creates unwanted trans fats in very high quantities. Research shows that trans fats are twice as dangerous for your heart than saturated fat because trans fats boost your levels of 'bad' LDL cholesterol and decrease levels of 'good' HDL cholesterol. Because Tenderflake Lard is non-hydrogenated, it has only 1% trans fats. Shortenings on the other hand, can have as much as 35% trans fats! |
