WHY IT'S KETO-FRIENDLY

  • The source provides 100g fat per 100 g.
  • The documented tablespoon uses a 12.8 g reference weight.
  • Replacing butter or another fat changes a recipe; nutritional similarity does not establish baking performance.

PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

MEASURED PAN INGREDIENT

Record lard by weight when cooking vegetables or another ingredient and include the entire recipe in the calculation.

RECIPE DEVELOPMENT

Use a tested recipe designed for its specified fat. Record any substitution and retest the method and yield before describing the result.
