Grass-fed ghee contains about 62-64% fat, hence it is considered a Keto-friendly food item. It is equally good for those who want a great-tasting and versatile fat with umpteen health benefits. But then again, one should only consume it in limited amount! An average (healthy) person should not consume more than 3 teaspoons (45g) of ghee per day. Vegetable ghee or Vanaspati is high in trans fat which makes it not at all healthy! So, just cross it off your shopping list!Our grandmothers and mothers always served food with Ghee and always believed that is the way to keep healthy. That indeed is true! Ghee is actually healthy but only when consumed in small amount. So, don’t go overboard in too much excitement!

Speaking of the nutrients organic clarified butter (Ghee) provides, it has Omega-3s and Omega-9s, beta carotene, CLA, antioxidants, and vitamins E, D, A, and K. Omega 3s and Omega 9s boost immunity, support heart health, aid in weight management, and more. Medium-Chain Triglyceride (MCTs): Ghee contains 25% or more short-chain and medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). Whereas butter has around 12% to 15%. Since short to medium-chain fats are more easily digestible, they are the more accessible energy sources. Additionally, they turn easily into ketones, which puts you faster into ketosis.

If you find anything else that seems off about the ghee, err on the side of caution. Better safe than sorry. The impressive benefits of ghee include its ability to protect your gastrointestinal system, balance the cholesterol levels, provide additional energy, reduce inflammation in the joints, eliminate certain allergy concerns, protect you from various chronic disease, improve your eye health, strengthen your immune system. Not only can ghee be used in cooking to add a very distinct and rich flavour, but it can also be consumed straight from the jar, and often that is how people who want the health benefits of ghee will consume it. Because ghee is usually made using high-quality, grass-fed butter, it tends to be high in vitamins including Vitamin A and Vitamin K.

If there’s anything else off about the aroma, assume that the fat is spoiled too. Graininess is caused by melting and re-solidifying of the fatand is expected if you store your ghee at room temperature during a hot summer.

That said, let’s talk about two things that are normal for ghee and nothing to worry about. Melting Gold Standard Cooking Fat/Oil 】 Our Organic Ghee is quite versatile because it tastes delicious on its own and is also the healthiest cooking oil. Ghee is the Gold Standard cooking fat for high temperature cooking for up to 250˚C/482˚F.

That said, ghee stays good for months even without refrigeration because it consists mostly of saturated and monounsaturated fats, both more stable than polyunsaturated fats. Best for cooking: Ghee has a very high smoke point of 485 degrees, higher than most cooking oils, making it a great Keto-friendly cooking fat. Many brands recommend keeping their ghee in the fridge, especially after opening the jar. Stored this way, open ghee should keep quality for about a yearinstead of about 3 to 6 months if you leave it unrefrigerated. There’s mold or any other nasty “stuff” on the surface.Mold doesn’t typically grow on fats, but if your ghee got contaminated with food particles somewhere along the way, you might find some growth on the surface. You might consider removing the spoiled bit if it’s small, but tossing the whole thing is much safer. When scooping, always use clean utensils and never double dip. This way, you don’t introduce any food particles into the fat, making it much more vulnerable to spoilage.
