Hey guys! Tehillah here.

Today we’re up to week four. This week’s ingredient to avoid is commonly listed as Lard.
Most of you would have at least heard of it, but for those of you who haven’t, lard is just a word for solid animal fat, mainly pig fat.

Lard is used in a lot of cooking, chances are you’ve seen it for sale at the supermarket. It is often used in making pie crusts, as it makes for flakier crusts that those made using butter. Lard is also used in some canned foods, such as refried beans.

Avoiding lard in your food is simple. Lard is required to be listed in the ingredients label of any product you purchase, so the best way to make sure you know what you’re eating is to always at least glance at ingredients labels when shopping. It doesn’t take long, and it keeps you aware of what you’re putting on yours and your family’s plates at dinner time.

Just a short one this week, thanks for reading.

Til next week,
Tehillah.
