You can expect to fall in love with ghee when you first start using it. It’s unlike any other fat. It tastes great and is a perfect choice for cooking because of its high smoke point. Once you buy it or make it, you can keep it in your pantry and use it as needed. 

What’s ghee? Ghee is a type of clarified butter that originates from India. It’s made by simmering the butter, which removes the water and milk solids in it, leaving a product with a high-fat concentration.

Butter typically contains around 20 percent of water, so you’ll need a pound of butter to make 0.8 pounds of ghee. You can use it in any dish you now prepare with butter, from cooking and baking to drizzling over popcorn.

Ghee is a better choice for people sensitive to lactose and it’s considered a healthy choice of fat. Have you tried it yet?
