Bison suet is the firm internal fat, specifically from around the bison's kidneys, that can be rendered into tallow for cooking, skincare, or other uses. This high-quality, nutrient-dense fat is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), making it a flavorful and wholesome fat source, though it is less common than beef suet due to the naturally lean nature of bison.
Suet is often used for traditional baked goods like puddings and pastries, whereas other bison fat is more commonly rendered into tallow for cooking, frying, and general use.
HOW TO:
Hi, this is Rachel. Thanks for stopping by! Here's how I make my tallow with our bison suet. Thaw and melt in a sauce pan on low heat. Low and slow, you don't want to burn it. Strain it three times through a strainer lined with cheese or linen cloth and store it in glass mason jars in the refrigerator. Use it in frying, baking, and even as part of your skincare routine. Some recipes, I can substitute on a 1-1 basis, others, I have to play around with a little bit, sometimes using a little less or a little more. Note: I also put our bison tallow on our Goldendoodle's kibble every so often for a healthy and shiny coat!
