lardless

Free of grease

Lardless means without lard—the rendered fat from pigs used in cooking and baking.

The term appears mainly in recipes or product descriptions indicating something was made without this ingredient: a lardless pie crust, lardless refried beans.

It may appeal to those avoiding pork for religious, dietary, or health reasons.
