- Will lard give you a heart attack? Is it hard to render and store? The answer to both is NO. Lard from a homestead pig is easy to render and store. And your body really does need this "good fat." Animal fat contains nutrients that plant fats don't have and is a product your body can really use for your health. Check out our RENDERED LARD from our homestead Mangalitsa pigs. We'll also show you how we made and use LARDO.

My gran cooked with lard her whole life, she was stick thin and lived to 105. I have recently started using lard and have noticed a huge improvement in my skin and health. I ❤️ lard. 😋
Good for you! Yes, real food makes real bodies, and healthy ones. Thanks for sharing your story!
This video have all the information that people need to hear, from now on I will stop using coconut oil and use lard instead I already use butter when I eat it.
Good for you! Coconut oil is good, too, but your body loves animal fats!
You know more than most of the doctors I have met
lol. Thanks! Common sense isn't always common. Thanks for watching.
Thank you very much!😊
my mom did same way. we had oak barrow and we kept it over the wintertime till mid summer in salt. thank you
O.m.g!! This is by far one of the best videos I've watched. Thanks for teaching!!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
My Maternal Great Grandparents were sharecroppers in the South. My Grandparents on that side really knew all the old skills that we've nearly lost. My Mother, Aunt, and older Sister all cooked and baked with lard. We would can our own blackberry and strawberry jam every year. This video is great because it shows how healthy the old ways were. I'm rendering some leaf lard tomorrow from a half of a heritage breed hog we bought. I'm also going to start curing a portion of the backfat to lardo. Thanks for the video and cheers to you.
I love the old stories! Kudos to you! Thanks for watching.
You understand food lady
thanks!
If I lived closer I would try to eat at your house every night. I would even clean the dishes.
Now, dishwasher service is a tempting offer! Thanks for watching.
Tx Jill :) Farm life is interesting.
thank you, while I render the leaf lard from our annual 2 pigs we raise, I have not made lardo...yet!
Lardo is SO easy to make! Let us know when you give it a go. Thanks for watching!
lard is also a great bread spread. spread it on a slice of bread, a few onions, a pinch of salt and a little bit of paprika.
Great idea!!
One very important aspect of nutrition is getting enough fat , since hormone activity is essential to our health & well being !
Steroid hormones - these are made from cholesterol. ...
Eicosanoids: these are lipid hormones - hormones made from lipids, kinds of fats. ...
Among the fat soluble hormones are estrogens , testosterone , plus our adrenal glands produce the steroid hormone aldosterone, which is involved in osmoregulation, and cortisol, which plays a role in metabolism.
Like cholesterol, steroid hormones are not soluble in water (they are hydrophobic). Because blood is water-based, lipid-derived hormones must travel to their target cell bound to a transport protein.
So . . . cholesterol is a vital part of our diets ~! ! ! "PRAISE THE LARD " ! ;)
* Chicken fat's mighty tasty too :p
Excellent info! Thanks for your input! Fat is important in our bodies for so many things.
I just bought 3 1/2 gallon tubs. I have plenty of coconut and olive oil. My fridge/freezer has about 15 lbs of butter.
That is awesome!
We like it so much in Ukraine. Expecially cooked with smashed garlic and black pepper powder...)
That sounds amazing!
Mmm sounds tasty.
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
Awesome video! Thank you.
Smart girl. Thank you
Would lard go bad if I carried it in a backpack for hiking? Timeframe of around 7 days
Properly rendered lard would probably ok, especially if the pig was not fed corn and soy because those make the lard susceptible to going rancid faster. If you can get your hands on lardo, that is exactly the kind of thing it was developed for. Good question!
Jill can you show us how you make Cracklins ? And lardo ?
I'll put it on my video list. Thanks for the input.
So what do you feed your pigs? Pasture alone won't produce much lard.
Would you consider rendering and selling your lard ?
Possibly. We really only sell half and whole hogs, or a "share" of a pig. If you're interested, contact us. bakersgreenacres@yahoo.com
Can you use beef lard for cooking or do you think pork lard is better?
Beef fat (tallow) is great for cooking. I haven't used it a lot, but it tastes fine and takes the heat. Use what you've got!
So, lard that comes from grass fed pigs doesn’t clog the arteries?
Real food feeds your body and gives it the tools it needs to be healthy. A good resource for information about good quality, real fats and your health is www.WestonPrice.org (Weston A. Price Foundation).
Toxins are stored in fats. Factory raised pigs (did you sense a tone of utter disgust in my voice there? LOL) get a lot of toxins through the garbage they are fed. They are fed so as to produce larger pigs, from more fat. So...
Whew!
So, you feed pigs garbage that both introduces toxins, and positively adds more fat for toxins to build up in! Hence, grass fed and grass finished pigs are the good source for your lard. The lard in this video, based on what was said, is the good stuff! (I have also heard that having pigs can be a lot of fun!)
Thanks for the info, is there any use for the cutoffs with lardo?
Not that I know of. Chicken feed. The chickens don't care about the awful taste.Thanks for watching!
What temperature range would you need to keep during curing process
60 degrees, plus or minus a bit, is the standard. Lardo is very forgiving so you can go as low as 40 degrees, it just takes longer. Thanks for watching!
Hello there Bakers Green Acres Do you know where from to get this animal fat - Seems like going to butcher OK but If I am looking forward organic grass fed I live in UK hmm And thank you for your video
a butcher specializing in grass fed or something similar is probably your best bet, good luck!
What r the benefit
There's a lot of misleading claims here. First of all saturated fats, which are fats that are solid when cooled to room temp, really aren't good for you, they are okay in moderation but that's it. Animal fats, shortening, and margarine are saturated fats. Granted of those three animal fats are the least bad but that's because the others are highly processed and could contain inflammatory chemicals. The healthiest fats come from organic non-gmo fats like olive oil and avocado oil. Grass fed butter like kerrygold is great for baking but stay away from the cheap stuff. A good substitute for lard is duck fat it has a wonderful flavor to it and has lot's of unsaturated fat. Only problem is it's expensive but that doesn't really matter if you use it in moderation. I recommend watching a few videos from "FlavCity with Bobby Parish" on oils and fats. He is very knowledgeable on the topic.
We'll disagree as there's a growing body of evidence in favor of animal fats and proteins as being necessary to the human body. Check out the Weston A. Price Foundation and the scientific evidence they offer. Thanks for sharing.
Do you render the leaf lard separately for baking?
I do. I use leaf lard for baking until it runs out and then use regular lard. Both work, but the leaf lard is nicer. Do you bake with lard at all?
my son is raising mangalista/duroc and he rendered the leaf lard from the last pig that was processed. I used it make pastry for a tourtière (french canadian meat pie) - used the ground pork as well. Tasty...found the pastry to be a bit more pliable to work with than shortening and maybe in the end not as flaky. Perhaps I used too much. Will experiment :)))@@bakersgreenacres
Avoid vegetables OILS ...PUFA
The only good plant fats are avocado and olive fat, just saying
I think soy can be good for a pig if you ferment the soy. Apparently, fermentation removes all the bad stuff about it.
Sorry. Can’t take the kid with his fingers in his mouth.
You'd think Mom would coach him ahead of time... No nosepicking, etc.
Seriously! Go troll else where!!
Such bull poopers on here. Commodity = money. And pork and milk are big bucks at your health risk.
Frank seems to be a little bit too old to be gnawing on his fingers on camera while you're trying to deliver a video presentation. Quite distracting. I turned it off.
Frank is SPECIAL! I enjoyed his "presence" He just needed more direct involvement. Overall, I found the presentation interesting. Lisa Rae Rousseau
