Beef tallow was historically a staple cooking fat used for a variety of dishes due to its versatility and health applications. However, the 1990s saw a decline in its use due to fears surrounding saturated fats and campaigns that labelled it as unhealthy. Recent research suggests beef tallow may not be as detrimental to heart health as once thought, especially in comparison to some seed oils that replaced it. This shift in perception indicates a growing acceptance of traditional fats in modern cooking.
"Beef tallow, aka cow fat, was once found in nearly every recipe... savvy households were as sustainable as possible, utilizing every cut of the cow right down to its rendered fat."
"The ingredient has done a complete 180 in the past few years, going in and out of fashion like skinny jeans."
