## Description

Nutiva Organic Shortening is a versatile and nutrient-dense mix of our organic, fair trade, habitat- and rainforest-safe red palm and cold-pressed coconut oils. Our shortening is rich in antioxidants, vitamin A, vitamin E, and has 0 trans fats and cholesterol. Unlike other products on the market, ours is never bleached or deodorized using hexanes or other harmful chemicals. Our red palm oil is a fairly traded product, sustainably grown on small family farms in Ecuador that have been worked by the same families for several generations. This socially aware and ethical approach to farming assures that no habitats are harmed. Use as an alternative to butter for baking, frying, or sautéing. Our shortening is a wholesome addition to vegetarian, vegan, Kosher, paleo-friendly, ketogenic, and gluten-free diets. Nutiva was founded in 1999 with a single purpose in mind - to Revolutionize the Way the World Eats. Our role is to produce and promote organic, nutrient-dense foods that are good for you and good for the planet. Social and environmental responsibility is a core part of Nutiva’s culture and business. From sourcing organic products, to obtaining fair trade certification, to greening our facilities and operations, to funding tree planting at schools in our local community, we are constantly seeking ways to better protect our environment and ensure a better quality of life for employees, customers, and the communities we serve.

Review: My Family Likes the Nutiva Organic Shortening! - I have been buying the Nutiva Organic Shortening, Original, 15 oz fr a few years now. This is a good choice for a healthier "Shorting" that suits some of our cooking needs, mostly for frying. It is pretty much flavorless, so it does not interfere too much with the flavors of what we are cooking. We use this product instead of any cooking oils. This product does NOT do well for greasing pans for baking breads, cookies or cakes! We are fairly happy with this product and will continue to use it, mostly instead of butter in a fry pan. UPDATE 05/04/2024: Apparently, this product has been discontinued??? It has not been available for quite a while on desertcart and got dropped from my Sub and Save. I guess we will just be using regular coconut oil now.
Review: Best pie crust ever! - So happy to have found this. I have always blindly used crisco for Thanksgiving pies. After developing a thyroid problem, I cut out inorganic foods and all soy. Last year I made all butter crust, but it just wasn't quite as good. This year I did half butter, half nutiva and it was amazing! Tender, delicious, and flakey. (I used the stand mixer crust recipe from "Hummingbird High" and subbed this for half the butter). Will buy again!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I bought this in Feb 2015 and the experation date was rubbed off upon arrival. What's the shelf life?**
A: The shelf life for refined Palm oil is 2+ years.The shelf life for red palm oil is 1 year. Refined coconut oil should last 1½ years without showing signs of rancidityA properly purified unrefined coconut oil will keep much longer than refined oil and this applies to other vegetable oils as welSaying that, each time I bought mine, they came with about a 1 1/2 year expiration date from when purchased it.  I hope that helps.......I have yet to get a bad one sent from them.

**Q: does this need to be refrigerated before it's opened?**
A: no- refrigeration is only needed after it's opened

**Q: Does it work for frying?**
A: It works fine for frying, and it seems like you can use fairly high temperatures. I use it for popcorn and it works just like coconut oil.. Be aware that it is heavy compared to canola or other vegetable oils and has a fairly strong taste, a cross between butter-flavored Crisco and coconut oil.  It"s heavy enough to add a slight taste to something bland like popcorn. Also, the color is a fairly deep yellow, if that's a consideration.

**Q: Does it have a coconut taste?**
A: I've been using this in my baking, including Pizza Crusts, for around 8 years and I have never noticed any smell or taste of coconut.  Red palm oil is a Superfood, extraordinarily good for you and fantastic for so many different baking needs.  I highly recommend Nutivia. It's imperative to Know where the Company is sourcing their Palm.  Too many new Palm plantations demolishing Rainforest Habitat that are Irreplaceable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best pie crust ever!
*by L***. on November 26, 2023*

So happy to have found this. I have always blindly used crisco for Thanksgiving pies. After developing a thyroid problem, I cut out inorganic foods and all soy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If they sold this by the gallon, I would buy it!
*by J***S on July 31, 2015*

Ingredients: *Organic Palm Fruit Oil, *Organic Unrefined Red Palm Oil, Organic Unrefined Virgin Coconut Oil *Fair Trade Certified by IMO 90% Fair for life ingredients This is by far, the best shortening I have found!! I LOVE it for my pie crusts! I weigh out (or measure) how much I am going to use, then put it in the freezer for 5-10 minutes BEFORE I put it in the recipe. My crusts come out so flaky!!! I also have been using it in cookies. The flavor of the crusts and cookies are great too. This doesn't overpower anything, very neutral, but seems to add just a hint of lusciousness. Somehow the mix of oils just works so well, its almost buttery. It IS the consistency of a soft butter. The palm oil is for creating flaky baked goods, the coconut oil provides the added health benefits of lauric acid. This shortening is vegan and contains no dairy, soy or canola! It is organic, non-GMO and Fair Trade certified. The golden color reveals the presence of antioxidant vitamins A & E naturally found in red palm oil. No hexane, dairy, soy or canola Non-hydrogenated (Zero Trans fats!) No cholesterol Non-BPA container
