Carnivore suet refers to beef or lamb suet

 

Carnivore suet refers to beef or lamb suet—the raw, hard fat found around the kidneys and loins of the animal—that is commonly consumed on the carnivore diet for its high fat content and nutrient density.

Key Features of Suet on a Carnivore Diet:

• Source of Pure Animal Fat: Suet is nearly 100% fat, making it ideal for increasing fat intake, especially if you're aiming for a high-fat ratio (e.g., 70–80% fat by calories).
• Harder and Cleaner Than Tallow: Suet is the raw, unrendered form. When rendered (melted down and strained), it becomes tallow.
• High in Stearic Acid: A saturated fat believed to help with mitochondrial function and potentially body recomposition.
• Rich in Fat-Soluble Vitamins: When sourced from grass-fed animals, suet can contain vitamins A, D, E, and K2.

How Carnivore Suet is Used:

• Eaten Raw or Cooked: Some strict carnivore practitioners consume raw suet, while others gently pan-sear or render it.
• Blended Into Ground Beef or Meals: Suet is sometimes mixed into leaner cuts to boost fat content.
• Rendered into Tallow: Once rendered, tallow can be used for cooking, frying, or as a fat supplement.

Why Suet Is Valued on Carnivore:

• Helps balance protein-to-fat ratio, which is crucial for energy and hormone health on carnivore.
• Offers clean energy without carbs.
• Minimally inflammatory and easy to digest for many.

If you're on carnivore and feeling low energy or not satiated, adding suet to your meals can often make a huge difference.
