- What is ghee, and how is it different from butter?
- Ghee is butter with the milk solids and water cooked off, leaving pure butterfat. That makes it suitable for high-heat cooking and gives it a nutty, toasted flavor.
- Is this ghee lactose-free?
- Ghee removes most milk solids, but it is still made from dairy butter and labeled as containing dairy. People with a dairy allergy should avoid it; those with mild lactose sensitivity often tolerate ghee but should check with a doctor.
- How should I store it?
- Keep the jar sealed in a cool, dark place and use a clean, dry spoon. Refrigeration is optional and makes it firmer; it keeps longer chilled.
- Can I use it for baking?
- Yes. It works in baked goods and for greasing pans, though its nutty flavor comes through more than plain butter would.
- Is it salted?
- No. It has no added salt, so you control the seasoning in your cooking.
- What is in the box?
- One 8 fl oz glass jar of ghee, packed in a gift box.
