Clarified Butter: things you should know

So we all know butter, we all (should) love butter, and we grew up with it, being almost impossible to find a person who doesn’t have fond family and child memories involving it.

Whether those are grandma cookies, mommy’s secret brownie recipe, or that secret formula recipe we found out on an obscure blog and make often to the wonder of our significant other, family or friends, butter is deeply ingrained into our lives and affection.

Then why reach out to a version of it that’s entirely exotic, different and that doesn’t even look like butter?

Ghee is clarified butter, comes originally from India and has been around for as much as India’s history goes back – and that is a lot. Being clarified does mean that it’s very different from the butter we used to, because that is a process in which impurities and any solid bits are removed. The consequence of that is ghee being as healthy as these sentences make it sound.

Of course anyone who professes a love for butter is either someone who is not too paranoid about health effects of food, or who has learned how to balance their nutrition well enough to consume butter in a healthy manner.

But none of that makes the idea of trying a new type of butter—which doesn’t carry the same health threats as the common one— any less attractive, does it?

So will this be another article praising one ingredient or product, and claiming you have to eat that because it’s healthy?

No, that’s too boring, and ghee is anything but boring. It is a very unique and exotic ingredient, which for sure will make your kitchen much more interesting.

India cuisine may not be the most popular choice out there, but the most undeniable fact about it is that it’s highly creative. Ghee’s aromatic and unique taste is one of the elements responsible for that diversity.

Extremely aromatic tastes which impregnate easily into other ingredients are invariably an eye-opening opportunity to experience with unusual combinations of spices, tastes and color.

Whether you choose to explore the wonders of it by yourself, listening to your instincts and following your nose and palate, or if you use the discovery of ghee as a pipeline to discover the universe of Indian cuisine, that’s on you. Either way, the experience will be invariable and bring a whole new sense of vibrancy to your kitchen. If you’re wondering where to buy organic ghee, rest assured it is not hard to find, despite its exotic character, and should be available in any Indian deli near you.

If those are not available, specialized websites such as ishopindian.com, bigindianstore.com or even Amazon offer a wide variety of ghee types and brands, or ghee-based products at extremely reasonable prices.

It has never been so easy as it is today to try unusual things, from all places in the world, in order to not let your kitchen be limited to the bread and butter of the foods we love but have grown too used to eating every day.

The Milkio Foods Limited is introducing their 1005 pure, natural and organic grass fed cow ghee for the users who are looking for only organic foods, that comes without any preservatives or chemical components. The notion to launch its dairy products for the American users, specially to satisfy the need of having gluten-free, ketogenic diet. The organization claims their products as 100% organic and Milkio's grass-bolstered ghee is produced using milk fats created from the milk of cows grazing in natural pastures of lush green grass, in immaculate situations of New Zealand. This grass is sustained on fecund soil, and moderate temperature under a lot of daylight, where unreservedly meandering cheerful dairy animals nibble almost throughout the entire year.
