Lard is a lot healthier than biscuits.
Lard for stir-fry/baking, butter for saute', and olive oil for salads and where its taste is expected.
The armour lard has pork ?
Snow lard is the best as the brontosaurus back curl can't get away now 👽
In my hometown down south of the border we always always used lard for everything from frying to cooking there weren't such a thing called vegetable oil olive oil or coconut oil just lard and butter that's it.
You all need to start do more videos about ketovore/carnivore recipes,becouse now days everyone wake up and find out that all those bad oils and american crap, junk, and toxic food that american heart asociation and diabetic asociation they poison us for the past 50 years. I cook with becon fat,ghee and lard now and all my health issues went away. I learn so much from dr. Berry D Ken ( youtube videos ).
I stop eating grains,sugary fruits and i stop eating starching veggies too. God bless dr. Berry.
um, I use the lard to make soap, so, is that good???
hydrogenated ? you never buy a product converted this way. Converted into a man made product for shelf life.
snow cap is the og
We use Morrell in making tortillas. This is great info
American lard is garbage. Import your lard or use something else.
Lard 8s coming back because people are realizing the government lies. They push whatever there invested in. Now there admitting and it's getting g out vegetable oil turns bad 8n a very short time. Making it worse then lard or butter!

The girl at 0:37 is such a cutie
low key disappointed that she’s not tasting spoonfuls of lard
Tortillas are not the same made with shortening vs lard.
lard isnt as bad as people thought it was however I would think hydrogenated would be worse for you
Bacon grease go boom
What about the hydrogenation? Is that bad in lard? The store winner has hydrogenated lard.
No hydrogenation. The water in butter can be rendered out to make butter oil or ghee. Just remember that water makes your food moister.
$12 a pound? I'm in the wrong business. l ike using lard, but butter makes better biscuits.
Lard is excellent for frying chicken.
Im glad my family never stopped using Lard, butter and other more natural things.
The melting point for flakiness is a point to remember
When we moved to the country, 40 years ago, we tried raising pigs for a few years. Rendered my own lard back then and 'discovered' it made the best pie crust ever. Old timers already knew this. Even used it for some cookies. Then it got a bad reputation ~ so it was 'better' to use the veggie brands. Then we learned hydrogenated was awful for us. Full circle again.
