Armour lard is fully hydrogenated and contains zero trans fats. Fully hydrogenated lard is different than partially hydrogenated oils, which are chemically altered and contain trans fatty acids. Trans fats are harmful because they lower HDL (good) cholesterol and raise LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, increasing the risk of coronary heart disease.

Lard is rendered pig fat, but it does not impart a pork flavor. Unlike butter, some oils or even bacon grease, Armour lard does not add any flavor to the foods you make. Instead food tastes like it naturally should, and that tastes unbelievably great! Lard makes the best fried chicken, the flakiest pie crusts, the crispiest veggies, and the tastiest biscuits – it’s even great on toast.
