Ghee

(घृत)

Ghee is a type of clarified butter that is considered a superfood by many people. It is cooked for a long time so that nearly all of the milk and moisture is removed. In India, due to the hot climate, butter has to be stabilized for storage and use, so people decided to clarify it.


Although it was initially made in the northeast of India, ghee first started to gain popularity in southern India. Ghee is also extremely healthy, since it is full of vitamins A and E, fights inflammation, and is low in lactose and casein. It is also considered a sacred fat, and ritual candles are sometimes made of ghee.


At some Hindu weddings, men have an eating contest where they eat as much of it as possible as part of a fertility ritual. With its nutty flavor and numerous health benefits, ghee is guaranteed to remain a staple of Indian culinary world.
