Think it of your healthy, lactose free (and guilt free) butter substitute. Ghee is a healthy fat and is one of the best sources of healthy fats for vegetarians, post partum mothers and as a babies first dairy. It is perfect for those following a keto diet as well.
It's unfortunate that Australian organic grassfed ghee is currently not found in the big supermarkets in Australia like Woolworths or Coles.
Why? Because quality takes time and ethical producers using Australian dairy can’t price match lower quality suppliers from overseas.
Ghee is easier to digest than other oils and is often preferred for those looking for a lactose free option.
It is a myth that ghee is 'just clarified butter'.
When being made ghee is not heated at high tempertatures so the nutritional content and enzymes in the butter is preserved. However what makes ghee different to clarified butter is the simmering of the butter for up to seven hours. This low heating temperature over a long period causes that fatty acid chains to be transformed.
