Ginger is a well-known root around the world for all of its health properties, especially as an anti-inflammatory and for its gastric properties that assist the digestive system. This root is used as a slimming formula because its properties promote weight loss.
Historically, tallow has been used as a fuel, a base for candles, a treatment for leather, and a base for soaps. In the modern era, it is used commonly as a lubricant and cooking oil.
I use it at the stove for most situations where a little oil is needed. I use it for deep frying like in my beef tallow french fry recipe or for frying chicken. You could use it in place of shortening for biscuits and pastries though I generally use butter.
