For anyone not familiar with Crisco it's an American vegetable shortening. I've used this for some time now, but if we're low carbing, can we still use it? Below are the nutritional values - they look good to me until I get to the ingredients and here I'm in two minds; it's pure vegetable, so that's good right? BUT look at the ingredients, do they look good? There's that word 'hydrogenated' which is now an alarm bell to me. Opinions from experienced Low-Carbers would be very much appreciated!
Thanks,
Julia
