Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is now my favorite brand of ghee. I used to go with the Pure Indian Foods brand, but I like the taste of this brand a little better and this one is cheaper. I have cooked with both of them and although I couldn't detect much of a difference after I cooked with them, I would be able to tell the difference if I just put them on toast. Ghee is not cheap but a little goes a long way. I used to cook with grass fed butter until I learned that different cooking butters and oils will oxidize and create free radicals if they are heated above their allotted temperature. Since then, I discovered ghee which is basically butter with all the milk solids removed. This makes it a much more stable fat to cook with and it can be heated to a much higher temperature than almost all other fats/oils without compromising it (485 degrees F). I just make sure to use a lid on my pans because ghee tends to spit out of the pan more than butter when heated initially. Ghee benefits... 1. Contains one of the highest natural sources of CLA (conjugated linoleic acid). CLA is a potent antioxidant, anti-carcinogen & powerful immune system enhancer. CLA cannot be produced by the human body so the only way we can get it is through foods such as whole milk, butter, beef, and lamb. CLA has been shown to increase metabolic rate, lower insulin resistance and lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels. To get the most CLA, it is important to always buy grass fed ghee. 2. Ghee is rich in medium chain fatty acids, which are absorbed directly by the liver (like carbs) and burned as energy. Athletes can use ghee as a consistent energy source. 3. Ghee is rich in vitamins & does a whole number of things to aid in the process of digestion.
