Ghee is butter with the water simmered out and the milk solids removed. This means the casein and lactose are removed making ghee suitable for the dairy sensitive. With the water removed it makes ghee great for cooking as the smoke point is heightened from 350F to 482F. A perfect replacement for butter, olive oil, and other cooking oils. (Great on popcorn!) Removing the water and lactose also concentrates the flavor, making it your perfect secret ingredient to make whatever you cook tastier! Ghee retains more vitamins and nutrients thanks to its low-heat prep. It can help boost your intake of vitamin A, vitamin E and vitamin K, all important nutrients that play a role in everything from maintaining healthy vision to keeping your skin glowing. This can be especially crucial if you suffer from any conditions like leaky gut syndrome, IBS or Crohn’s, as your body may have difficulty absorbing these fat-soluble vitamins. In addition to the nutrients above, it is also a good source of butyric acid and CLA, both of which have been associated with a number of health benefits, such as reduced inflammation and increased fat loss. Ghee is free of polyunsaturated fats which makes it a better choice over vegetable oil. Can be used for deep frying - replace all oils up to a certain temperature.
