Can lard replace butter?
Yes, but it is not recommended to use butter instead of lard, which is bad for the heart.

Since scientists discovered that eating too much lard may increase the risk of heart disease more than 60 years ago, westerners began to use butter instead of lard in large quantities. They not only think that butter has a higher health index than lard, but also think that butter can make dishes more colorful and delicious when cooking.

The study organized by British Dietetic Association found that lard contains monounsaturated fatty acids and other fatty acids, which helps to reduce the content of bad cholesterol in human body and improve heart health. In addition, although the calorie of lard is about 20% higher than that of butter, it is rich in vitamin D that can protect cardiovascular health, especially the high-quality lard produced by local pigs, and the total vitamin content is 50% higher than that of butter.

Extended data:

Use animal oil as little as possible for all kinds of vegetable oils;

According to the website of Dietary Guidelines for China Residents, the daily intake of edible oil for adults (that is, extra oil added during cooking) should be limited to 25g ~ 30g. Everyone should learn to "use less oil" and "use oil skillfully", control the total amount of edible oil not to exceed 30g/ day, mix a variety of vegetable oils, and try to eat less animal oil and margarine or shortening.

"Use less oil": use a graduated oil pot to control edible oil; Choose reasonable cooking methods, such as steaming, boiling, stewing and mixing. And fry it instead of frying it; Eat less foods rich in saturated fat and trans fatty acids, such as biscuits, cakes, cakes, processed meat products, French fries and potato chips.

"Clever use of oil": the proportion of saturated fatty acids in animal oil is high; Vegetable oil is mainly unsaturated fatty acid. Olive oil, tea oil and rapeseed oil are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, corn oil and sunflower oil are rich in linoleic acid, and linseed oil (linseed oil) is rich in α -linolenic acid. You should always change the types of edible oil, eat a variety of vegetable oils and reduce the amount of animal oil.
