Lard is rendered pork fat used in many traditional cuisines for frying, roasting and baking; it’s prized for a neutral flavor and a high smoke point that makes it useful in both savory dishes and pastries. Nutrition-wise it is almost entirely fat — about 100g per 100g — and supplies a mix of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids along with small amounts of vitamin E and long-chain fatty acids. Because it is an energy-dense pure fat and contains little or no protein or fiber, it’s typically used sparingly; choose it when its particular texture or flavor is important, and consider plant oils when aiming to increase unsaturated fats in the diet.
