About I teaspoon ghee
I Teaspoon Ghee is a clarified butter traditionally rooted in South Asian cuisine, often used in Indian, Pakistani, and Middle Eastern dishes. Made by simmering butter to remove water and milk solids, ghee provides a rich, nutty flavor and aroma. It's packed with healthy fats, including omega-3s and fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K, which support nutrient absorption. Ghee is lactose-free, making it suitable for individuals with lactose intolerance, and contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), believed to support heart health and weight management when consumed in moderation. Additionally, ghee offers butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid important for gut health. While ghee can be a beneficial addition to a balanced diet, it is calorie-dense and high in saturated fats, so portion control is essential. One teaspoon provides a flavorful boost to dishes while offering potential health benefits when enjoyed mindfully.
