Dripping, beef

Beef dripping is fat rendered from beef, used as a cooking fat. The figures supplied describe samples from different brands. It consists almost entirely of fat, providing 99g of fat per 100g, including 51g of saturated fat, and 3663 kJ of energy. It contains only traces of protein and carbohydrate.

Fat supplies energy and helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins. Beef dripping’s high energy and saturated fat content are relevant for people monitoring these in their diet. Replacing some saturated fat with unsaturated fat can help lower blood cholesterol. Beef dripping provides little salt and no fibre. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
