Clarified butter vs. Ghee know the
products before you add in the diet

Clarified butter vs. Ghee may seem to you
alternative words because in many instances ghee
and clarified butter are used interchangeably. Bo
th are dairy products and are cooked from
milk-butter. While etymologically ghee is an
Indian Sanskrit work, clarified butter is an
English word. But concerning physical properties
and dietary uses in cooing, lets check how these
two act different.   Showing many similarities,
both dairy products, Clarified butter and ghee
clarified butter, are the same in their use,
nutritional value, and shelf life aspects. Ghee,
the Indian name and form of Clarified Butter,
originated in the Indian subcontinent. In
contrast, Clarified butter is mostly associated
with French cuisine. However, as Ghee or
Clarified butter is mainly produced by the
indigenous method, its texture or flavor varies
in other parts of the world considering the
cooking method. You can find a fine line of
difference between two dairy products considering
the process of preparation. Clarified butter and
ghee clarified butter are both produced from
boiling pure cow milk butter. Milk butter turns
into clarified butter first, which is then
converted into pure ghee by further cooking. Ghee
offers a more creamy texture, nutty taste,
slightly caramelized aroma, and higher smoke
point (482F) than clarified butter
(450F). Organic Clarified Ghee is shelf-stable
and safe to use in the diet for
lactose-intolerant people. It can be consumed
raw. Moreover, in comparison to pure Clarified
butter, it offers a higher smoke point, which is
485F. It can be of various types Organic ghee,
Grass-fed Ghee, Flavor infused ghee,
etc.

• So, what is Clarified Butter?
• Clarified butter, the pure form of milk fat
• Ghee manufacturers produce it by boiling
  unsalted milk butter.
• The butter gets boiled till the point where
  all moisture evaporates and the milk solid
  separates and precipitates, remaining the pure
  fat layer (butterfat) on the top.
• The residue milk solids are removed by
  straining the boiled liquid fat through a clean
  cheesecloth.
• The smoking point of clarified butter is
  around 450F

• What is Ghee Clarified Butter?
• Ghee is the Indian name and form of clarified
  butter. Cow Ghee is traditionally associated with
  Asian culinary practice, especially with
  Indo-Asian cuisine and Middle East food culture.
  The traditional manufacturing process of ghee
  slightly differs from traditionally clarified
  butter. It provides ghee nuttier taste, aroma,
  color, and higher smoke point, making it even
  better than clarified butter.
• The ghee is produced just like clarified
  butter.
• Its done by boiling the unsalted butter until
  all the moisture gets evaporated. The milk solids
  get separated from the pure fat layer on the top.
• Here comes the fine line. The ghee is cooked a
  little longer to caramelize the residual milk
  solids.
• This process gives ghee a nuttier taste,
  slightly caramelized aroma, and a deeper golden
  color than clarified butter.
• The residue milk solids are removed by
  straining the boiled liquid fat through a clean
  cheesecloth.
• This process increases the smoke point of ghee
  at around 482F
• So Where They Same?
• Both products belong to the same category and
  provide high smoke points, longer shelf life, and
  health benefits.
• Both of them are an excellent alternative to
  regular butter/ regular cooking oil.
• Both are free of lactose and casein, thus
  suitable for individuals suffering from lactose
  intolerance or allergic to casein. 
• Both are keto diet (no carbs) and Paleo
  diet-friendly.
• Codex Standards specifies Ghee or Clarified
  Butter to have 99.6 minimum milk fat (fat
  content), 0.3 maximum moisture, 0.3 maximum
  Free Fatty acids, and a peroxide value (PV) less
  than 1.

• And, Where They Differ?
•     Cooking Process Clarified butter when
  further cooked, form ghee clarified butter to
  develop characteristic taste and aroma
•     Taste and Aroma Ghee clarified butter has a
  better taste and aroma than clarified butter.
  Ghee is widely used as a taste enhancer in
  various recipes by culinary experts.
•     Provenance Ghee clarified butter is from the
  Indian subcontinent, whereas Clarified butter is
  French. 
• What is Organic Clarified Butter or Organic Ghee
  Clarified Butter or Grass-fed Ghee Clarified
  Butter?
• When the cows milk butter, used to clarify
  butter or ghee clarified butter, is produced from
  organic milk (generated through organic
  dairying), the product is called Organic.
  Organic clarified butter or Organic ghee
  clarified butter is always certified Organic by
  authorizing agencies, e.g., USDA Organic or
  Certified Organic by Biogro NZ Ltd. This
  certification shows the authenticity of organic
  products to the buyers.
• Similarly, when the ghee/ clarified butter is
  produced from grass-fed cow milk, it is called
  Grass-fed clarified butter or grass-fed ghee.
• In both organic dairying and grass-fed dairying,
  the majority of feed for milking animals comes
  from green grasses. Grass feeding in organic
  dairying also increases PUFA, Short-chain fatty
  acids (butyrate), Omega 3, CLA (conjugated
  linoleic acid), and beta carotene content in
  milk. Beta carotene is an antioxidant that
  converts to vitamin A and plays a vital role in
  human health. Thus ghee or clarified butter
  prepared from organic grass-fed milk is more
  nutritious and always considered good quality
  than the conventional variety (grain-fed).

  like Milkio Organic or Grass-fed Ghee, is free of
  additives, preservatives, veg oil (coconut oil).
• Clarified Butter and Ghee Benefits
• Nutritional benefits of both Clarified Butter and
  Ghee Clarified Butter are almost the same. Daily

  Butter imparts various health benefits. It
  increases physical and mental stamina, improves
  digestion, eyesight, enhances complexion and glow
  of the face and body, improves hair, binds
  toxins, helps in weight loss, and provides

  immunity enhancement and improved bone
  mineralization

  Acids) Omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial to
  heart, brain, eye, and other tissue functions

  higher amount of butyrate.

  butter or ghee contains a higher concentration of
  beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is an antioxidant
  and precursor for vitamin A, essential for retina
  function, healthy skin, and infection
  prevention.

  saturated fat, which works as a filler food. Both
  are high in calorie, so on moderate consumption
  with tea coffee, etc. provide sustaining energy.
