In daily cooking, we use a lot of oils, such as peanut oil, rapeseed oil, olive oil and so on. And there is a kind of oil that is often liked by people and a little scared, and that is lard. Lard is one of the indispensable members in making Chinese pastries. Super delicious fresh meat mooncakes, char siu pastry, or black sesame glutinous rice balls that have nothing to do with pastry are inseparable from lard. It is often added to some stir-fried dishes. The dishes cooked with lard are more delicious, such as shredded cabbage and so on. But it also often makes people feel scared. The fat content of lard is too high, the content of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids is equal, the cholesterol is high, and it can provide extremely high calories. But in fact, even vegetable oils contain unsaturated fatty acids. If you consume too much, it is just as bad for your health. Lard is not terrible, as long as it is consumed in a reasonable amount, it is actually very healthy.
