butter v. ghee
Hi Karen,
Ghee is just pure-D butter fat, it’s like melted gold. (my interpretation) The
harmful milk solids have been taken out…skimmed off during the process of
making ghee. The protein solids stay on the bottom of the pan. When I was
first learning to make ghee, I posted a question on another BB asking if one
could use the “stuff” that was skimmed off. I got a quick reply…”best you
trow (accent intended) it away…” <s
I can’t imagine using it.
Butter has milk solids… ghee does not. Ghee tastes much better for seasoning
cooked veggies, and much better on spelt bread.

PS I make my own ghee from farm fresh cream that I buy from a local dairy. If
I had to buy it at the HFS.. paying that price… I may not use it daily as I
now do.
