Ghee
Ghee is a form of clarified butter that has been cooked to remove water and milk solids, resulting in a pure, rich fat. It has a high smoke point, making it ideal for frying and sautéing. Ghee is valued for its flavor, shelf stability, and potential health benefits, such as containing fat-soluble vitamins and beneficial fatty acids. It has a deep, nutty taste and is used in many culinary traditions, especially in Indian cuisine. Because it is free from water and solids, ghee lasts longer without refrigeration and is suitable for those with lactose sensitivity, as most milk proteins are removed during processing.
