Why Ghee is considered to Be The  Liquid Gold

Often called clarified butter, ghee is a golden yellow semi-liquid with a distinct aroma and flavor.

A highly-regarded ingredient in Ayurveda, or Indian traditional medicine, ghee is derived from the Sanskrit word ghṛta.

It’s believed to have originated in India and has been used since antiquity for cooking, rituals, and healing.

Also known as liquid gold in India, ghee was especially useful when hot weather made keeping butter impossible without refrigeration. By separating the milk solids using heat, this clear, fragrant liquid with its characteristic nutty flavor provides the richness of butter, no refrigeration needed.

Traditionally, ghee has been made from cow’s milk and sometimes buffalo milk.

According to Ayurveda, ghee made from cow’s milk is shuddh desi ghee, which translates to “pure indigenous ghee.” It’s traditionally considered to be the purest version.
