Guest Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I was just reading through the whole9 site and realised that they say on the whole30 we can cook with animal fat. Does that mean I can just buy pig/beef fat and make lard/tallow and cook with it, no need for olive oil? because olive oil is really expensive and I can do without having to buy it. Please respond fast, I am starting tomorrow and haven't and early in the morning I will be buying the rest of my groceries for the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmary Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 yes, you can use lard or beef tallow, just keep in mind that the quality of the animal matters. High quality lard from pastured pigs=awesome. That stuff from a box in the grocery store? nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Other sources of animal fats include clarified butter, ghee, duck fat and goat fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To clarify for other readers, you mean the stuff in a box (LARDTM) is "nope" as in "it's not awesome", not "it's not compliant"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This stuff is not good. BUT, you are correct, no non-compliant ingredients in the case you linked, so technically ok on the whole30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KathyV Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I have also used duck fat in my mayo. I mixed it with light olive oil and coconut oil. I also used duck eggs. It made a great tasting mayo..IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
