WHAT IS GHEE

Ghee is clarified butter, which has been cooked gently until the milk solids are separated. Which results in a product that combines oil’s very high smoke point, which has an excellent nutritional profile, and a favorite for those with lactose intolerant. Ghee can be stored without refrigeration for longer periods of time.

GHEE AND AYURVEDHA

The Golden oil known as ghee which is also known as ghrita in Sanskrit, the traditional language of the ancient texts of Ayurveda.

Cow Ghee, an integral part of the Ayurvedic health science is considered a premier Rasayana. A food that helps maintains good health, vitality and longevity. Cow's Ghee is excellent for balancing Vata (air) and Pitta (fire) related doshas (bio-energy center). It is satvic (healthy) food, which has a pure influence on mind, body and spirit.
