Ghee is one of our favorite things we produce at the farm! Ghee has its origins thousands of years ago in Southeast Asia and has been used by the Indian culture for cooking and medicine. That does not mean you can't use ghee in your every day life! It is a highly versatile and useful addition to everybody's pantry. Read on to find out how!
We make our ghee from our own grass-fed, A2/A2 butter which makes it highly nutritious. We also make ghee from our very own grass-fed Water Buffalo milk. Ghee is made by melting butter and removing the milk solids. We remove our milk solids carefully by hand. Our ghee has little to no lactose in it which makes it a great butter alternative for those who have lactoseallergies and cannot have butter.
Ghee can be used in every day cooking. It has a neutral yet nutty flavor. Ghee has a high smoke point of about 465 degrees Fahrenheit which makes it great for high temperature cooking in situations such as roasting veggies or searing meat. It is a much healthier alternative to vegetable oils and seed oils.
Ghee has a long shelf life. An unopened jar of ghee has a shelf life of one to two years. An open jar of ghee can last three months unrefrigerated. An open jar of ghee will last over a year if kept in the refrigerator.
As mentioned before, make ghee from our genetically tested A2/A2 cow milk and our naturally A2/A2 Water Buffalo milk. Our cow ghee has a beautiful golden color while our Water Buffalo ghee is bright white from the white fat of the Water Buffalo milk.
Here are a few of the different ways ghee can be used in your everyday life:
-Butter or oil substitute for baking cookies, cakes and pie crusts
-Popping popcorn
-Melt it and put it on top of popcorn or veggies
-Use it for roasting veggies or meat
-Sautee veggies, seafood, meat
-Spread it on muffins, biscuits and breads
-Melt it into dressings as an oil substitute
-Use as a butter substitute for frosting
-Greasing pans
