Cooking fat, compound, not polyunsaturated

Compound cooking fat is a blended fat used in cooking and baking. The form described here is solid cooking fat that is not classed as polyunsaturated. It mainly provides fat and energy: per 100g, it contains 100g of fat, including 42g of saturated fat, and provides 3700 kJ of energy.

Fat supplies energy and helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins. This cooking fat is concentrated in energy, and saturated fat makes up a substantial part of its fat content. The amount used is therefore relevant for people monitoring their energy or saturated fat intake. It contains only traces of salt and protein. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
