Ghee Butter

What Exactly Is Ghee?

Ghee Butter, also known simply as ghee, is a clarified form of butter that has been simmered to remove water and milk solids, leaving behind pure butterfat. Unlike regular butter, ghee has a long shelf life, a higher smoke point, and a distinct nutty aroma.

While it may seem new to many in the West, ghee has been a staple fat in Indian and South Asian households for thousands of yearsnot only in cooking, but also in healing and spiritual traditions.

A Sacred Ingredient in Indian Culture and Ayurveda

In Ayurvedic medicine, ghee is considered a healing food, praised for its ability to nourish the body, support digestion, and promote longevity. Its also used in Hindu rituals as a symbol of purity and vitality.

Many centenarians in India and Pakistan credit their long and healthy lives to the regular consumption of ghee. Whether its in lentil stews, rice dishes, curries, or traditional sweets, ghee plays a central role in the South Asian diet and cultural identity.

The Nutrition Behind Ghees Health Halo

Though its a fat, ghee offers unique health benefits when consumed in moderation:

• Rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K
• Contains butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid that supports gut health and reduces inflammation
• A natural source of CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid), which studies suggest may help regulate metabolism and reduce body fat

Ghee is also lactose- and casein-free, making it suitable for people with dairy sensitivity.

A Culinary Upgrade for Everyday Cooking

Because of its high smoke point and robust flavor, ghee is ideal for:

• Sautéing vegetables
• Pan-frying proteins
• Roasting root veggies
• Stirring into soups or rice
• Spreading on toast or flatbreads
  Its ability to resist burning means it preserves the flavor of food while adding a subtle richness
