Why Ghee
Let's unlock the culinary as well as the nutritional benefits of Ghee:
- Ghee lends a unique aroma, flavor and texture to your meals. It adds a delightful richness and distinct nutty flavor to your dishes. Roasting or baking with ghee results in a golden, crispy texture, while preserving moisture and yielding a lovely caramelization.
- Ghee's high smoke point (485°F/250°C) makes it the best fat for deep frying and high heat cooking without producing any unpleasant flavors or inflammatory compounds. This makes it the most potent antioxidant on earth.
- Ghee enhances the flavor of other ingredients including spices and seasonings and takes it to a whole new level.
