Lard

Lard is a type of fat that is derived from pigs. It is commonly used in cooking and baking due to its high smoke point and ability to add flavor and moisture to dishes. Lard is solid at room temperature and has a creamy white color. It is often used in recipes for pie crusts, biscuits, and fried foods. Lard can also be rendered to create a more pure form of fat for cooking purposes. In the supply class Food, Oils And Fats, lard falls under the supply group Subsistence, which refers to essential food items necessary for sustenance.
