Is ghee the same as butter?

No. Ghee is butter with the milk solids and water removed, leaving pure butterfat. That raises its smoke point and removes most lactose.

Can I use it if I'm lactose intolerant?

Yes. The label states it is lactose-free, since the milk solids are removed during clarification. Check with your doctor if you have a dairy allergy, not just intolerance.

Does it need refrigeration?

No. Ghee is shelf-stable and can stay in a cool, dark pantry. Keep it tightly closed and use a dry spoon so water does not get in.

No. It is unsalted, so you season separately. That makes it easier to use in baking and in both sweet and savory dishes.

How does it compare with grass-fed ghee?

Grass-fed specialty ghee often has a deeper yellow color and stronger flavor. This one is milder and easier to find in regular grocery stores.

Can I substitute it for butter in baking?

Yes, but it lacks water and milk solids, so results differ. Use it for sautéing and roasting, or replace up to part of the butter in recipes that tolerate the change.
