Things to keep in mind while buying ghee
Before starting with the benefits of ghee, it is important to understand what ghee is, and what type of ghee would be beneficial for you. While buying ghee one must note a few things:
- It should be from desi Indian breeds of cows like Gir, Sahiwal, Haryanvi, Red sindhi, etc.
- It must be processed via whole milk curd route and not cream, which is popularly known as bilona method.
- Clockwise and anticlockwise churning process must be used to convert curd into butter.
- Last but not the least, it must be slowly simmered into ghee from butter.
Health benefits of Bilona Ghee
- Because of its high smoke point, ghee is one of the best oils to use in cooking as it won’t break down into free radicals like others.
- Desi cow ghee has a smooth, creamy texture and rich, nutty flavour, and thus is a versatile pantry staple that can replace butter, olive oil or any other cooking oil.
- Another unique property of ghee is that since the milk solids are removed, it contains little to no casein or lactose, the two compounds in dairy that most often cause allergies and sensitivities. This means that most dairy-sensitive people can enjoy ghee.
- Desi cow ghee is rich in short- and medium-chain fatty acids that are considered to be heart healthy.
- Desi cow ghee is both hugely beneficial inside and outside of the body. The consumption of ghee offers a wide range of benefits, including clarity of mind and sound digestion.
- Desi cow ghee helps sustain healthy microbes in the gastrointestinal tract to promote effective digestion and elimination. It nourishes all the tissues of the body, including the nervous system, translating into calm energy throughout the day.
- It helps in weight loss. To answer the never-ending debate, the type of saturated fat that desi ghee has is the short- chain-fatty acid which helps to burn the stubborn fat in the body while regulating your metabolism and does not add extra fat.
- It is your heart’s best friend. Vitamin K2 found in desi ghee helps in preventing calcium deposits in the arteries that can lead to blockages and obstruct blood flow. It lowers bad cholesterol levels and increases good cholesterol levels, thus maintaining a healthy balance.
