Grass Fed Lard - 7 lbs - Food Grade

This US-produced, non-GMO lard is a perfect blend of the three primary types of fats: monounsaturated, saturated, and polyunsaturated. In fact, all fats, including lard, butter, olive oil, and coconut oil, are composed of these three fat varieties in varying proportions.

Lard, being a solid fat at room temperature, is predominantly composed of saturated fats. Interestingly, each tablespoon of this lard contains approximately 1000 IU (international units) of vitamin D, depending on the animals' diet and exposure to sunlight. The pigs used to produce this lard are raised in ideal conditions, out in the open air and sunshine, ensuring they receive ample amounts of this essential nutrient.

The versatility of this lard is particularly noteworthy. It is an excellent choice for frying vegetables or eggs, as it can withstand high heat without burning, thanks to its high smoke point of 370 degrees Fahrenheit. Furthermore, lard is a popular ingredient for creating flaky and light pie crusts, cookies, and biscuits. The use of lard in pastries results in a delightful, flaky texture that is difficult to achieve with other fats.

In summary, this US-produced, non-GMO lard is a remarkable product that seamlessly combines the three fundamental types of fats. Its high vitamin D content, owing to the ideal living conditions of the pigs, further enhances its nutritional value. Whether you're frying, baking, or creating delectable pastries, this lard is a versatile and reliable choice that can elevate your culinary experiences.
