Once it comes to the meal, the whole building can smell the smell of Grandma Zhang's rice, the delicious little boy secretly sniffed in the door slit, really fragrant, his mother stir-fried vegetables are not so fragrant, there is no appetite at all, what "secret recipe" did Grandma Zhang use? One day the little boy came to Grandma Zhang's house as a guest, and he saw that Grandma Zhang used a spoon to dig a spoon of white flowers from a porcelain pot with a spoon before stir-frying and put it into the pot like jelly, and then the aroma came to the nose, what is this good thing?
Grandma Zhang said that this is lard, she has eaten it since she was a child, and every day she will put a spoonful of stir-fry dishes, and the dishes and meat that are fried are particularly fragrant. So the little boy went home and let his mother also make lard stir-fry to eat, but his mother said that lard can not be eaten, unsafe, not as good as vegetable oil, eating too much is not good for blood vessels, and children can not eat more.
Can lard be eaten? Which is better than vegetable oil? Today we will talk about it, so that everyone can eat with confidence and understand.
The origin of lard
The working people of our country have been raising pigs since ancient times, and at that time there was no technology to squeeze vegetable oil, and if you want to eat some meat to get oil, you have to rely on pork. At that time, the way to eat pork was relatively primitive, mostly roasted on the fire, and the grease fell on the fire to make a noise, which was how people found lard paste.
In the "Compendium of Materia Medica" there are also records about lard "stomach, urination, hair, lungs", at that time people if there is edema, eczema, children's accumulation of food, constipation and other problems, will eat some lard, can soon improve, so the older generation of people handed down such a sentence "a spoonful of lard five pills", of course, if from the perspective of modern health, it is certainly not so magical, can not be compared with medicine.
Since the lard is basically fat, it is necessary to pay attention to the heat during the refining process, not to burn, nor to take too long, otherwise harmful substances will be produced and endanger the human body after eating.
The method of boiling lard, you need to master
(1) Cutting the fat pork into small pieces can shorten the refining time
(2) Wait for the temperature of the iron pot to rise after turning on the low heat to fatten the pork
(3) Add a bowl of water appropriately, flush with the pork, and turn on the fire
(4) When the water is almost dry, turn the heat to low and turn it over with a spatula
(5) After the oil is produced, the fat is significantly reduced, the color becomes yellow, turn off the heat and quickly fish out
From a health point of view, the disadvantages of lard > advantages
There is an advantage, that is, cooking fragrant, suitable for young people with low appetite and good physical fitness, you can occasionally eat lard to improve your taste and bring you the "taste of childhood".
There is also a disadvantage, high fat content, great damage to blood vessels, not suitable for middle-aged and elderly people. If you already have high blood lipids, heart disease, obesity and other diseases, you must eat less lard, can not eat without eating, really want to eat, then use a small spoon to dig a small piece, no more than two spoons (20 grams) per day.
Animal oil vs vegetable oil, which one is better?
In the test test of 21 edible oils, it was found that 9 vegetable oil samples had high trans fatty acids, while lard had low trans fatty acids, and after a few minutes of heating, the trans fatty acid content of all edible oils increased. From the point of view of trans fatty acids, animal oil has certain advantages, more suitable for frying, stir-frying, less oil smoke produced in a short period of time, vegetable oil is not stable after heating, try not to use it for frying, suitable for cold mixing, steaming.
The harm of trans fatty acids should be known to everyone, and we have been emphasizing the need to reduce intake in recent years, whether adults or children, should be highly valued. In short, pork and vegetable oil have no good or bad boundaries, mainly depending on how much you eat and how you eat it. If you want to be healthy, then no matter what oil you eat, you must be "moderate".
How much do you know about the principle of using oil?
Vegetable oil: < 30 g
Lard: < 20 g
Can be steamed, do not fry and fry, less oil is healthier, the higher the temperature, the greater the harm; the oil after frying can not continue to be used to stir-fry, prefer to pour it; cooking oil is easy to deteriorate, especially on both sides of the stove, the lid is not covered tightly, it is easy to oxidize, try to buy a small bottle, use up and then sell; if you like to buy a large bottle of affordable packaging, you can pour a small part into the oil pot, eat and then pour from the large bottle; do not always eat an oil, corn oil can buy soybean oil, you can also buy olive oil, Or prepare two or three more kinds of oil at home and eat them together.
Scientific view of the problem of lard, it can be eaten, but to learn "how to eat", this is already a clichéd problem, want to eat lard, and do not want cardiovascular disease to find the door, you have to control the amount, and vegetable oil to eat, it is good to have only one role, that is, cooking incense. The key to healthy eating is changeable, balanced and moderate, do you understand?
