Ghee Benefits for Your Health
Ghee Benefits Your Health and is Delicious!
Ghee, or clarified butter, is well known
to gourmet cooks and those who
love Indian Recipes. Now ghee
is readily available for use in
your own healthy kitchen.
Ghee is made when the milk solids
are separated from the liquid, leaving
a pure, clear, amber-colored substance
which has been used for 2,000 years
in Ayurveda, or the ancient natural healing
system of India.
Ghee is lactose free and can be used as a healthy substitute for butter or cooking oils. Here is more information about this healthy superfood. Ghee won't turn rancid at room
temperature like butter and retains its original flavor and freshness for up to a year - all without refrigeration.

- Ghee helps your body assimilate nutrient from the foods you eat.

- Ghee benefits those who are lactose intolerant because ghee is lactose free.
- Ghee is believed to contain anti-cancer and anti-viral properties.
- Contains CLA or conjugated linolenic acid which helps to promote weightloss and aids in getting rid of belly fat and
- Ghee helps to protect the body from heart disease, especially when unsed instead of other, less healthy fats contained in butter, margarine and hydrogenated oils.
Healthy bodies need healthy fats and one ghee benefit is that it is an easily digestible source of saturated fat that contains no trans fats or hydrogenated fats.
Note: Ghee is low in the essential omega 3 fatty acids you need for good brain health so supplementation with omega 3's is a needed for a healthy diet.
Other Benefits of Ghee
- Making your own Ghee is one easy way to preserve butter, which turns rancid or loses flavor quickly.
- Ghee is terrific to cook with because it withstands high heat in baking at temperatures above 240 degrees Farenheit and is one of the few unrefined oils that does so.
Keep ghee on your counter for use anytime. Ghee benefits almost any dish. Use ghee in place of butter or margarine on bread and toast or use ghee to replace cooking oils. You'll love the flavorful difference.
