Glorious Ghee!
The Golden Elixir
Ghee, or clarified butter, has been a cornerstone in Indian cooking and Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. It is made by simmering butter to remove the water and milk solids, leaving behind pure golden, GLORIOUS ghee! Its rich, nutty flavour and high smoke point make it a versatile and essential ingredient in any dish.
Versatile and Delicious
With its high smoke point, it won't burn or release harmful free radicals, making it safer than many cooking oils. Whether you drizzle it over steamed vegetables, slather it on warm bread, or use it as a decadent cooking medium, ghee adds a touch of ooey-gooey goodness to every dish.
Health Benefits
Beyond its rich and unique nutty taste, Ghee is celebrated for its potential health benefits, including being lactose-free and rich in fat-soluble vitamins. It's a source of butyric acid, known for its anti-inflammatory and digestive support properties. Moreover, ghee is a great source of fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, and K, which are essential for overall well-being.
Why Wait?
In all honesty…I waited a LONG time before trying Ghee. Like, second-year Ayurveda training long! I grew up in an olive oil household and really didn’t realize what I was missing. I had tried a few store-bought brands during my Ayurveda training, and honestly, I didn’t like them that much. It wasn’t until I made homemade Ghee for the first time that I fell in love with it!
Don’t get overwhelmed; it's actually SUPER easy to make Ghee, and it is much cheaper and tastier than any store brand I have used.
