About Lard
Cooking fat rendered from pork fat; fairly high in saturated fat.
Health Benefits of Lard
Nearly pure fat
Lard is ~897 kcal per 100g, almost 100% fat (about 40% saturated). A tablespoon (~14g) is about 126 kcal. It gives many classic Chinese dishes (braised pork, scallion pancakes, stir-fried rice noodles) an irreplaceable animal-fat aroma and glossy texture.
Occasional and sparing
Lard frying greens imparts a unique meaty note, but given its saturated fat, make vegetable oil your cooking staple and use lard sparingly for flavour - not as the daily sautéing fat.
