Lard cooking smells so good, why are fewer and fewer people eating lard now?

Steamed buns and steamed buns have been traditional pasta in China for thousands of years, but restaurants and even five-star hotels add some lard to the dough when making snacks. Why? Before the oil press, lard was used as edible oil and can be used for cooking. Adding 20g into the dough, lard is more natural and healthy than the dough improver sold in the market. Like butter abroad, it can be evenly kneaded into dough and can play a role in lubrication. When steaming steamed bread and steamed buns, lard can effectively prevent cracking caused by gluten expansion, making pasta taste better and more beautiful.

In fact, lard has many benefits. First of all, the nature of lard is sweet, slightly cold and nontoxic. Its primary function is to detoxify Mylabris, Radix Gentianae, Radix Gentianae, Radix Puerariae, sulfur poisoning and various hepatotoxicity. The second function is to solve five kinds of jaundice, jaundice, jaundice, jaundice, jaundice, jaundice and edema caused by these jaundice diseases. These five jaundice diseases include modern cancer, so cancer edema can also be solved with lard. Because lard can "benefit the stomach, pass urine, benefit blood vessels and promote blood circulation."

When I was a child, I usually put lard in cooking at home. Chop the oil dug in the pig's stomach, put it in a large pot to make mature oil, and then put it in a jar for a long time. In the past, the overall living conditions were very poor. Unlike now, there are not so many kinds and brands of vegetable oil. Most families eat lard. Whether cooking or stewing, shovel a small piece of lard. Fried vegetables are fatter.

It's just that modern people eat more meat and most of them lack exercise. If they eat lard, they will be overnourished, accumulate saturated fatty acids and synthesize cholesterol, which is harmful to their health. In addition, modern pigs don't exercise much. In ancient times, pigs could at least have fun in pigsty. Modern pigs are kept in cubicles all their lives and grow up eating feed. Pork is naturally not as delicious as before.

I used to feed my own pigs at home, and every time I killed them, I could lay a thick layer of lard. Then extract the mature oil and store it to eat slowly. Boiled and boiled with lard is especially fragrant. I don't know if my friends still remember lard residue, fried rice with lard and candy. Do you remember these delicious foods when we were children?
