When I was young, my mother used to cook pork fat until it produces lard, a semi soft fat with a high saturated fatty acid content with no transfats. Then she will let it curd to a fatty white substance.I enjoy mixing it with a very hot rice with a sprinkle of salt to taste. It was the best for me at that time.
Maybe this is the reason why I now have hypertension.
Now, I take note of what I eat. If possible, less rice, less salt, more vegetables & fish.
