5 Healthy Dips and Dressings with UMANAC Organic A2 Bilona Cow Ghee

Ghee, a common component in Indian cooking, has acquired great popularity as a supplement to low-carb, high-fat diets like Keto and Paleo. Ghee is a Hindi word originating from Sanskrit, and is used as cooking fat in many Indian recipes, as well as other Asian cuisines. In Ayurvedic medicine, a holistic therapeutic approach that originated in India, it's also utilized as a skin moisturizer. The milk solids and water are removed from ghee, making it a sort of clarified butter. However, clarified butter is different from ghee. Ghee and clarified butter are both made from butter, which is made up of three main components: milk fat, milk solids, and water. You remove the milk solids and water to get clarified butter, but you have to go one step farther to make ghee. Ghee has a rich flavour that tastes slightly nutty when compared to ordinary butter. Clarified butter has a more neutral flavour because it isn't cooked for a lengthy time, and is of course, much healthier than other butters.
