Ghee is a type of clarified butter made by simmering butter to remove water and milk solids. It's known for its rich flavor, long shelf life, and numerous health benefits.
Ghee is rich in healthy fats, vitamins A, D, E, and K, and antioxidants. It supports digestion, boosts immunity, and can be a good source of energy.
Yes, ghee is typically lactose-free as the milk solids are removed during the clarification process, making it suitable for those with lactose intolerance.
Ghee can be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration is optional, but it can extend the shelf life if you live in a warm climate.
When stored properly in an airtight container, ghee can last for up to 1 year without refrigeration and even longer if refrigerated.
