Tropical Traditions Giveaway: Organic Palm Shortening!
Tropical Traditions is at it again…ready to give away one of their awesome products! If you just read this post about how to make Whole Wheat Pie Crust using Organic Palm Shortening, then you are for sure going to want to try to win this giveaway!
So, what is Palm shortening? Read what Tropical Traditions says about it:
Palm shortening is derived from palm oil (read about Virgin Palm Oil here). In its natural state, palm oil is a mixture of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, with most of the unsaturated fat being monounsaturated fat. Palm shortening is palm oil that has some of its unsaturated fats removed, giving it a very firm texture, and high melting point. The melting point of our Organic Palm Shortening is 97 degrees F., making it very shelf stable. It is NOT hydrogenised, and contains NO trans fats! It is great for deep-fat frying and baking, and is not prone to rancidity.
I use Palm shortening to fry my Chicken Nuggets and French Fries, Salmon Patties, Onion Rings, Whole Wheat Donuts…any food that requires frying. Oh, and of course for a pie crust! Palm Shortening has no flavor, so it doesn’t not alter the taste of the food. Plus, it’s inexpensive. A big bucket of Palm Shortening will last me quite a while! I love that it is such a wonderful, healthy alternative to crisco!! Hurray, we can use shortening again!

I would love to win Palm shortening it is on my ever growing list of things that I want! I am early on in my phase of healthier eating and there are just some things that we can’t afford right now, like Palm Shortening. So we just don’t cook anything that might call for shortening!

After talking with my sister who started using the expeller pressed coconut oil last month, I just ordered my first coconut oil last night with some shredded coconut. I am interested in trying the palm oil shortening, too, as I love to make pies and summer berries are coming soon! I am trying to change over to less processed foods and whole grains. Thank you, thank you for your great website! I am learning so much! My whole family loved the butterscotch bars recipe you posted that you took to a Homeschool meeting a while back! Blessings!

Woo hoo! I love palm shortening! It makes the best cookies ever!!
[Reply]
I have never tried palm shortening. I just substitute butter, but I would be interested in trying this. Maybe I could make biscuits that are actually flaky?
[Reply]
I just signed up for the newsletter. I keep thinking about ordering something when you post the free shipping days, but it’s still just so expensive, I haven’t been able to bring myself to do it yet. Maybe one day. . .
[Reply]
I would love to try it.

I would love to win this. I love palm shortening, but haven’t tried their brand yet. I already get their newsletter.
[Reply]
I have been looking at this, but have yet to try it. But I do a lot of baking and sometimes butter just doesn’t work as well.
[Reply]
My daughter told me about this. I don’t do a lot of deep fat frying or baking because of my high cholesterol. Eating out is a pain. Maybe this will do the trick! Thanks!
[Reply]
We have used the palm shortening and it also works well for biscuits.
[Reply]
I would love to try this shortening! I love my piecrust but I use lard and I can’t find pure lard anymore so something new to try would be just the thing!
[Reply]
Palm shortening is our main choice for baking and frying (daughter is allergic to butter). What I love is that its actually cheaper than the organic butter. Would LOVE to win some!
[Reply]
I just made your donut recipe today, but with coconut oil. I’d love to win some free oil!
[Reply]
We are very interested in this product! I have been eyeing it for quite a while and it would be great! We have used another kind of palm oil shortening in our pie crust before but it was so much more expensive.
I love to visit your blog from time to time. Thank you for your encouragement, faith and recipes that you share with all of us ladies. Blessings to you!
O, and thank you for having this giveaway!

I have never plam oil before, but I have seen it in things. My son has allergys to some thing but his doctor told me to use coconut or olive oil on his skin to help with his hives and it has worked. I have cooked with the coconut oil also and like the lite taste. I just bought the coconut cream to try, and would like to add plam oil to my shopping list.
[Reply]
I would love to try this!
[Reply]
I’ve been using coconut oil as my primary oil for a couple years- I’d love to try palm oil, too! Healthy fats are so important!
And I’ve been on the TT newsletter for a while. Yay!
