How to Render Lard from Pig Fat Using a Meat Grinder - How do you make lard shelf stable? - Video

I talked a few weeks ago about how we got a whole hog from local farmer. A great way to get the most out of your whole hog purchase is to use the fat. Don't let it go to waste! You can easily render it down the pork fat to add lard to your pantry shelf.

Lard, often underestimated and misunderstood, holds surprising health benefits. Contrary to popular belief, properly sourced and rendered lard can be a nutritious addition to one's diet. This traditional fat, derived from pig fat, contains a balanced ratio of monounsaturated fats, similar to olive oil, making it a healthier alternative to some highly processed oils. Lard is rich in oleic acid, which promotes cardiovascular health and helps reduce inflammation in the body. Additionally, it contains beneficial saturated fats that aid in nutrient absorption, particularly fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K.
