About Lard
Lard is a type of rendered fat derived from pigs and has been a traditional cooking ingredient in many cuisines worldwide, including American, European, and Asian dishes. Rich in flavor, it is often used for frying, baking, and sautéing, imparting a delicate texture to pies and pastries. Nutritionally, lard is composed largely of fats, with both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. It contains monounsaturated fats like oleic acid, which are considered heart-healthy when consumed in moderation. Additionally, it is a source of vitamin D, particularly if sourced from pasture-raised pigs. However, lard is high in calories and saturated fats, which can contribute to cardiovascular issues if consumed excessively. Modern health recommendations typically advise balancing its use with other fats and oils for a more varied diet. When used mindfully, lard can be a flavorful addition to your culinary repertoire.
