Nutritional Information About A2 Gir Cow Bilona Ghee?
Ghee, sometimes called “desi ghee” or “asli ghee,” is a type of clarified or drawn butter with origins in Indian cooking. The term "clarification" refers to the cooking process that separates milk solids and water from fat. In ghee, the butter is cooked longer than in clarified butter, allowing milk solids to brown before straining. This gives ghee a richer, nuttier flavor than traditional drawn or clarified butter.
The clarification process creates some nutritional changes: It removes milk solids, decreasing the lactose and casein content, which may offer benefits to those allergic or sensitive to dairy. However, research is ongoing as to whether ghee offers measurable health benefits, especially as compared to regular butter. Ghee should still be used in small quantities to enhance other foods, as you would butter or oils.
