Suet is a type of hard fat found around the kidneys and loins of animals, especially cattle and sheep. It is commonly used in cooking and baking, particularly in traditional dishes like British puddings and pies. Suet adds moisture and richness, making recipes more flavorful and satisfying. In addition to its culinary uses, suet is also popular in making bird feeders. When mixed with seeds, it provides a high-energy food source for wild birds during colder months. This makes suet an important ingredient for both cooking and supporting local wildlife in your backyard.
