Fatworks sells a wide range of cooking lard, tallow and fat by the jar and bucket, and shares recipes like Tallow French Fried Potatoes that will now be easier to enjoy thanks to a new range of heat-and-eat Tallow Fries and Tallow Onion Rings.
These finger-friendly bites make the most of grass-fed, grass-finished tallow and are proudly seed-oil-free, appealing to the growing numbers of consumers rejecting processed canola, soybean, corn, sunflower, and safflower oils. "Someone needs to defend real fat, and we have been the ones to do it," says Fatworks. "We have been fighting fat-phobia and the industrialized seed oil syndicate for over 12 years. We only support real fat, rendered in small batches and sourced from small family farms across the U.S."
