Ghee
Ghee
Our Ghee is a traditional clarified butter, made by simmering pure butter until the water content evaporates and the milk solids are removed, leaving behind a rich, golden liquid fat. Ghee has been used for centuries in cooking and is prized for its high smoke point, making it perfect for frying, sautéing, and roasting. It is also valued for its unique nutty flavor and health benefits, including being lactose-free and rich in essential fatty acids.
Why Choose Our Ghee?
Our ghee is crafted from the finest butter, sourced from grass-fed cows raised on organic farms. The slow cooking process ensures a deep, caramelized flavor and a pure, lactose-free product that is easier to digest than regular butter.
- High Smoke Point: With a smoke point of around 250°C, ghee is ideal for high-temperature cooking without the risk of burning.
- Lactose-Free: As the milk solids are removed during the process, ghee is naturally free from lactose and casein, making it suitable for those with dairy sensitivities.
- Rich in Healthy Fats: Ghee is a source of butyric acid, which supports digestive health, and contains essential omega-3 fatty acids.
Our Organic Process
Our ghee is made using traditional methods, where butter is slowly simmered to remove the water and milk solids, leaving behind pure, golden fat. The butter is sourced from organic, grass-fed cows, ensuring that the ghee is free from chemicals and preservatives. This process not only intensifies the flavor but also increases the shelf life of the product.
Applications and Benefits
- For High-Temperature Cooking: Perfect for frying, roasting, and sautéing, as ghee can withstand higher cooking temperatures without breaking down, unlike other oils.
- For Baking: Use ghee in place of butter for a nuttier, more aromatic flavor in cakes, cookies, and breads.
- For Traditional Recipes: Ghee is essential in many Indian and Middle Eastern recipes, adding depth and flavor to curries, rice dishes, and lentils.
Environmental Impact
Ghee production, particularly when made from organic, grass-fed cows, has a lower environmental footprint than many processed oils. It’s a sustainable, long-lasting fat that can be stored at room temperature without the need for refrigeration.
Does ghee need to be refrigerated?
No, ghee can be stored at room temperature in a cool, dry place for up to a year. Refrigeration is only needed if you prefer a firmer texture.
Is ghee healthier than butter?
Ghee is often considered a healthier alternative to butter due to its higher smoke point, lack of lactose, and concentration of healthy fats.
How should I use ghee in cooking?
Ghee is excellent for frying, roasting, or sautéing at high temperatures. It can also be used as a spread or incorporated into baked goods for added richness.
Is your ghee suitable for lactose-intolerant individuals?
Yes, since the milk solids (which contain lactose) are removed during the clarification process, ghee is safe for those who are lactose intolerant.
What makes ghee different from clarified butter?
While both are clarified, ghee is cooked longer to develop a deeper, nuttier flavor and remove more water, resulting in a longer shelf life.
