13 ingredients tagged "High Saturated Fat" — how they affect digestion, energy, sleep, and mood.
- Coconut Coconut is the fruit of the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera), native to tropical regions. It is a source of saturated fat, fiber, and micronutrients, with distinct effects depending on whether the whole fruit, milk, oil, or dried meat is consumed.
- Coconut Flour Coconut flour is a fine, light powder made from dried, ground coconut meat, typically a byproduct of coconut milk or coconut oil production. It is high in dietary fiber and saturated fat, with relatively low digestible carbohydrates per serving.
- Coconut Milk Coconut milk is a creamy liquid extracted from grated coconut flesh mixed with water, rich in saturated fat and medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). It is a staple in tropical and Southeast Asian cuisines and commonly used in plant-based cooking.
- Coconut Oil Coconut oil is a saturated fat extracted from coconut flesh. It is composed primarily of lauric acid and other saturated fatty acids, with a small fraction of true medium-chain triglycerides. It is a calorie-dense ingredient with a high smoke point, commonly used in cooking and food manufacturing.
- Condensed Milk Condensed milk is cow's milk with approximately 60% of its water removed and sugar added, resulting in a thick, sweet product shelf-stable at room temperature. It is calorie and sugar-dense with minimal micronutrient advantage over fresh milk.
- Cream Cream is the fat-rich layer that rises to the top of milk, typically containing 18–40% milk fat depending on type. It is a calorie-dense dairy product high in saturated fat and cholesterol, with minimal carbohydrate or protein.
- Cream Cheese Cream cheese is a soft, fresh cheese made from milk and cream, stabilized with gums and emulsifiers. It is high in saturated fat and is not a significant source of probiotics, as live active cultures are not maintained in the finished product.
- Ghee Ghee is clarified butter with milk solids removed, composed primarily of saturated fat and fat-soluble vitamins. It is a shelf-stable dairy fat used in cooking and traditional medicine.
- Lamb Lamb is the meat of young sheep, rich in high-quality protein, iron, and B vitamins. It is a nutrient-dense red meat with a composition similar to beef but a distinct fatty acid profile.
- Lard Lard is rendered pig fat used in cooking and food production. It is composed primarily of monounsaturated and saturated fatty acids with a neutral flavor profile and a moderately high smoke point.
- Palm Oil Palm oil is a saturated fat extracted from the fruit flesh of oil palm trees, widely used in food manufacturing. It is calorie-dense and high in saturated fat, with potential effects on blood lipid profiles.
- Red Meat Beef, pork, lamb — high in protein, iron, and B12. Processed red meat is classified as a Group 1 carcinogen by IARC; unprocessed intake is also linked to colorectal cancer at high levels.
- Sour Cream Sour cream is a cultured dairy product made by fermenting regular cream with lactic acid bacteria. It is high in saturated fat and contains live cultures from fermentation, but evidence for specific probiotic health effects remains limited.
