Ghee is butter that's been gently clarified through traditional slow-cooking methods, removing water and milk solids to create pure, golden butterfat that's easier to digest and more nutritionally concentrated.

If you have severe allergies though, definitely chat with your healthcare provider first – better safe than sorry!

We understand this concern! The research on ghee and cholesterol is still evolving, with some studies suggesting ghee may actually support healthy cholesterol levels.
