Ghee is a type of clarified butter widely used in cooking, particularly in Indian, Middle Eastern, and South Asian cuisines. Made by slowly simmering butter to remove water and milk solids, ghee has a rich, nutty flavor and a high smoke point, making it ideal for frying, sautéing, and roasting. It is known for its health benefits, as it contains healthy fats, fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K), and antioxidants that support digestion, boost immunity, and promote overall well-being. Ghee is also lactose-free, making it a suitable alternative for those with dairy sensitivities. In addition to its culinary uses, ghee is valued in Ayurvedic medicine for its healing properties and is often used for skincare and therapeutic purposes. Its long shelf life and aromatic taste make it a popular and versatile ingredient in both traditional and modern cooking.
