Why Choose Grass-Fed Beef Tallow?
Beef tallow, especially from grass-fed cattle, is a powerhouse for keto cooking. Unlike seed oils, which some health advocates criticize for inflammatory properties, tallow is packed with healthy fats that support ketosis. Its high smoke point (400°F+) makes it ideal for frying, roasting, and baking without breaking down into harmful compounds. Tallow, like ours at Weldon Family Farms, contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), linked to fat loss, and essential vitamins for overall health. Recent posts on X and Instagram highlight tallow’s growing popularity, not just for cooking but also as a natural skincare ingredient, praised for its moisturizing properties. Try these recipes and grab our tallow here (Weldon Family Farms Tallow ) or a Lodge 10.25-Inch Cast Iron Skillet for the best results.
