First, lard tastes like meat. The biggest difference between pork and vegetable oil is that lard itself is fried with pork fat, so lard itself will have a meaty taste. Many people don't like to eat green vegetables because they feel very light, without oil or water. If you stir-fry with lard, you can not only keep the vegetables fresh and nutritious, but also give off a strong meat flavor. Even if you don't put meat in the cooking, it is still full of flavor, and it is best to fry with pork.
However, ordinary vegetable oils, such as corn oil or blended oil, are not so rich in fragrance after refining. In the process of cooking, vegetable oil has no cholesterol, so the fragrance will not be stimulated by temperature, but the lard will be more fragrant and the fragrance will become very rich.
Second, lard is rich in oil. In fact, the human body likes cholesterol and fat very much. Many people don't like to eat green vegetables because there is no oil in them, and think that cholesterol and fat are bad substances, but in fact, health can't be separated from cholesterol and fat. Fat is something that can make food more fragrant. Many people like eating meat. In fact, the smell of meat comes from the fat in the meat. Therefore, as long as lard is put in cooking, the whole dish will become more fragrant.
Third, the nutritional value of lard is higher. Many people think that lard is unhealthy, but if it is eaten in moderation, it is actually healthier for the human body. Animal fat is more beneficial to health and has a better protective effect on cardiovascular system than plant fat. Moreover, pork can be eaten and absorbed by the human body. Vegetable oil is probably synthesized by adding chemical raw materials, and there is no smell when cooking, only the taste of additives, so boiled pork is definitely healthier and more fragrant. Cooking with lard stinks all over the house for a long time.
