The Ultimate Guide to Rendering Perfect Lard: Three Must-Adds and Three Strict Avoidances for White, Fragrant, and Pure Results
When I was a child, my grandmother would lift the lid of that small, gleaming black clay pot on the stove, and the snowy white lard inside would release a warm, comforting aroma. A spoonful mixed into a bowl of freshly steamed rice—the rich fat coating each grain—was the simplest yet most cherished delicacy of my childhood. Nowadays, however, many people frown at the mention of lard: "Isn’t it unhealthy? Too much cholesterol!" This is only half true. Modern nutrition science has shown that lard is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids and vitamin D. When consumed in moderation, it is not the health-destroying monster it’s often made out to be. What really gives lard its "unhealthy" reputation is often the unpleasant gamey odor resulting from improper rendering—poor technique not only ruins the flavor but also perpetuates misunderstandings about its nutritional value.
