Got an #asknostr question:

Would anyone be interested in pastured pork lard from cows fed only raw milk and non-GMO feed in the Virginia Shenandoah Valley, USA?

Would be priced at $17 per 16oz jar / $28 per 32 oz jar w/free shipping which is competitive with White Oaks Pastures and businesses selling pastured pork lard. I have talked with several including nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7ct5d3shxtnwdaehgu3wd3skueqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqgp4dp6ll4efkphwknqa0fc2ra6sq3wsvam56gwqltl7ftetl94zaqwpckjr that prefer using pork lard for certain recipes over something like tallow or ghee.

I see this as an even more cost effective way to cook with a great animal cooking fat. Not as good as ghee or 100% grass fed ghee, but a great balance between cost effectiveness and nutrition/health.

How are you getting lard from cows?

LOL. I’ve got connections with farmers that raise pigs

But lard is pork fat. You asked if anyone would want pork lard from pastured cows. That's what Im confused about

Oh my gosh you’re right I’m retarded

It's ok, go with it. It's a new thing, we'll like it. I don't like tallow anyway.

Was starting to question my own sanity 🤣

Or was that a typo and you meant pastured pigs?

Totally was a typo my bad

That made me actually lol

Yikes 🤣

From PIGS* not cows. Thank you nostr:nprofile1qqsdhrefrh8efymn753yquxtaa86hq9e4rf5xsjx4jsludq3fnz3m5qppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7v9kpll for the callout there.

You mean tallow?

Doh.

Would you consider having them lab tested (once) to determine fatty acid profile?

You know that’s been in the back of my head. The answer is yes, definitely. Probably before I would even sell them I would do that and I should do that for my ghee as well. Any testing facility you happen to recommend? Otherwise I’ll look online at options

Ask Grok how to navigate.

Curious myself.

At least get a couple quotes.

Only an email away.

What types of things/recipes would you cook with pork lard? Curious and interested.

Personally, potatoes would be great. Especially if I were to fry them I wouldn’t use ghee I would use lard.

Tons of Asian meals go super well with being cooked in lard too.

I'd be interested in trying that if it ever came to market.

Noted. Thank you for the input!

Yes! I need for pie crust
