Clarified butter and ghee are not the same.

Ghee is simmered and cooked longer than clarified butter. This labor of extended love rewards the palate with a rich, caramelized nutty taste while preserving all the health benefits for mind and body.

Cow ghee has a yellow color, whereas buffalo ghee has white color. Among the two, yellow ghee is a powerhouse of nutrition and has a lesser fat. Hence, if you are looking for weight management, consider having cow ghee.

The easiest way to check the purity of cow ghee is to heat a little portion of it on a spoon. If it melts and turns yellow, then its authenticity is questionable. But if it is heated, it melts and turns into a dark brownish color, then it is pure.

Many people have the wrong idea that consuming ghee makes people fat. Contrary to popular belief, ghee contains a saturated fat called short-chain fatty acids that along with providing energy to our body, aids in weight loss. It helps to get rid of stubborn fat.

ghee is one of the many in the class of clarified butters. ghee is a naturally purified and shelf stable version of clarified butter where all detectable water is removed, making it stable. ghee is also well filtered, leaving it as a pure butter fat that need not be refrigerated. to truly be ghee and not just anhydrous milk fat, it must be cultured and rendered over direct heat, rather than separated mechanically.

you are only limited to your imagination. Ghee need not be used only for Indian cooking, although it is obviously perfect for that. Ghee can be used anywhere you would use butter or cooking oil! That is to say that you can sauté, roast, dollop, spread, fry, or massage with it! think…veggies, meats, grains, baking…the possibilities are endless. if you have our flavors, they become more versatile still! Check out our recipes to get started! There are also multiple cosmetic uses for plain ghee.

ghee has a melting point of around 76 degrees, depending on which of the distribution of saturated and unsaturated fats in your jar. saturated fats are heavier, which is why they sink to the bottom, in hotter weather, and you sometimes get solid ghee on the bottom and liquid at the top. if you simply mix and then refrigerate for 2 hours, these fats will stabilize and remain spreadable after you remove it from the fridge. we personally don’t choose to refrigerate our ghee, simply pouring from the jar when it is fluid, or scooping when it is not. the less you expose your ghee to extreme heating and cooling, the longer it lasts. you can simply expect your ghee to act similarly to coconut oil in that in colder weather, it will be solid, and in warmer weather, liquid. similarly, if you store it in a cupboard above your stove, it will usually melt when you are using the oven for any length of time. keep your ghee out of direct sunlight! it is one of the only ways to spoil ghee. if your ghee turns stark white, it is rancid.

the short answer is no. Ghee is very stable, and when kept at room temperature, out of the sun, it remains good for at least a year, if not 2 years from opening. we recommend 6 months from opening because human behavior dictates that you may accidentally contaminate your ghee with a drop of water, or little kid fingers dipping into jars, so use basic common sense, keep your ghee clean and dry, and it will serve you well throughout your jar! keep ghee out of direct sunlight (which will turn it white and rancid)
