Fat is primarily digested in the small intestine. The process begins in the stomach, but it is in the small intestine where bile from the liver emulsifies fats, making them easier for enzymes, particularly pancreatic lipase, to break them down into fatty acids and glycerol. This digestion allows for the absorption of fat into the bloodstream.
