Also disclosed is a margarine or a shortening which comprises the hard fat. Further disclosed is a confection or a bread produced by using the margarine or the shortening. The hard fat contains lauric acid in an amount of 25 to 45 mass%, has an iodine value of 0 to 25, has the following constituent triglyceride composition: (CN32-54TG): 85 to 100 mass%, (CN32-38TG): 30 to 50 mass%, (CN40-46TG): 25 to 55 mass% and (CN48-54TG): 10 to 30 mass%, and has the following constituent triglyceride content ratio: [(CN32-38TG)/(CN40-46TG)] = 0.5 to 1.5, [(CN32-38TG)/(CN48-54TG)] = 1.0, and [(CN40-46TG)/(CN48-54TG)] = 1Ø |
