Um, so what exactly is ghee?

Ghee is clarified butter, or butter that has been simmered and reduced until all water and impurities have evaporated, leaving behind creamy, nutty, caramelized butterfat.

Any healthy perks?

As 100% butterfat, ghee contains all the nutrients in butter without the sugar or protein. This means ghee is lactose-free and casein-free—and Paleo, Whole30, and Keto approved! Plus it’s a good source of omega-3. It originated in India and has been used in traditional cooking methods around the world for thousands of years and prized for its anti-inflammatory, digestive, and therapeutic properties.

How’s it different to cook with than butter?

Ghee is shelf stable, even after being opened! Ghee has a nutty and rich flavor and is ideal for cooking, with a smoke point (485°F)—higher than butter, coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil, and canola oil.

And so how do I cook with it?

Use ghee as you would any other oil — replace any oil with ghee in your favorite recipes. It cooks without much splatter or burning, making it ideal for high-heat cooking.
