Nice little write-up on palm shortening: https://www.thepaleomom.com/wiki/palm-shortening/ They're having a 50% sale on it right now at Tropical Traditions. But frankly, I'm in Texas and afraid to ship such things in this heat. I had coconut oil seep out in shipment one time (and not even in summer!), even through the foil seal inside the screw lid that had been compromised due to an obvious box crush event! Oil got all over everything in the box from Netrition! Was so glad when it got to where you could buy coconut oil in a lot of brick and mortar stores. Unfortunately, I've not found one that carries palm shortening. I know the lid seal on the buckets is probably better than average, but on its side, I think melted shortening could still seep out in the shipping box like that coconut oil did and potentially be a mess to handle in the post office and by the mailman on his route.
