Tallow and Tallow Derivatives and the Pescatarian Diet
Tallow is a type of animal fat that is rendered from the fatty tissues of beef or mutton. It has traditionally been used in cooking, but today it is more commonly found in industrial applications such as the production of soap, cosmetics, and certain cleaning products. Tallow is solid at room temperature and can be stored for extended periods without refrigeration if kept in an airtight container. In modern times, its use in food is minimal, with preference given to plant-based oils and fats.
