Ghee is clarified butter made by gently heating butter to remove water and milk solids. It has a rich flavor, a long shelf life, and offers several health benefits.

Ghee contains healthy fats and vitamins A, D, E, and K. You can use it as a source of energy and as part of a balanced diet.

Ghee is very low in lactose because the milk solids are removed during clarification. If you are highly sensitive to dairy, check with your doctor before using it.

Store ghee in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and moisture. You do not need to refrigerate it, but you can if your kitchen is warm.

You can store ghee for up to a year in an airtight container kept in a cool, dry place. It can last longer in the fridge.
