About Pork lard

Pork lard is a type of rendered fat obtained from pig tissue, commonly used in cooking and baking for its rich flavor and versatility. Traditionally embraced in cuisines worldwide, including Central European, Chinese, Latin American, and Southern U.S. cooking, lard has been esteemed for its ability to enhance the texture and taste of dishes. Nutritionally, pork lard is primarily composed of fats, including monounsaturated and saturated fats. It contains no carbohydrates or protein and provides a source of fat-soluble vitamins like Vitamin D, especially when derived from pasture-raised pigs. While its rich fatty acid profile can support certain metabolic functions, excessive consumption may lead to health concerns, including elevated cholesterol levels and heart disease risk. Opting for unhydrogenated, naturally processed lard can avoid trans fats. Moderation is key to enjoying pork lard as part of a balanced diet.
