HEALTH BENEFITS
Why eat it.
- ✓Provides a concentrated source of energy due to high caloric density.
- ✓Contains monounsaturated fats, primarily oleic acid, which is also found in olive oil.
- ✓Source of fat-soluble vitamins, particularly Vitamin D and choline, especially if from pasture-raised pigs.
- ✓Enhances the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) from vegetables when cooked together.
COOKING TIPS
In the kitchen.
- 1Render slowly over low heat to extract liquid lard for frying or baking, which leaves behind crispy cracklings (pork rinds).
- 2Dice into small pieces (lardons) and pan-fry until crisp to use as a flavorful topping for salads, soups, pasta dishes, or roasted vegetables.
- 3Use as a primary cooking fat for sautéing greens, potatoes, or eggs to impart a rich, savory flavor.
- 4Incorporate into doughs for savory pastries, biscuits, or pie crusts to create a flaky and tender texture.
STORAGE
Keep it fresh.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 weeks to maintain freshness and prevent odor absorption.
- For long-term storage, freeze in a well-sealed container or vacuum-sealed bag for up to 6 months without significant loss of quality.
