Lard is not only a real Ukrainian product, but also a source of valuable fatty acids.
If you don't eat lard because you are afraid of an excess of bad cholesterol, you can safely take it out of the freezer!
Fears that a significant amount of cholesterol enters the body with lard are exaggerated and even wrong. If you consume 20-30 grams of lard per day (the recommended amount), you will get 30 mg of cholesterol.
For people with normal health, the permissible daily dose of cholesterol is 300 mg, and for those who have had a heart attack or stroke - up to 200 mg.
That is, consuming 30 grams of lard per day will not only not raise cholesterol levels, but, on the contrary, will burn it.
