Ghee, also known as clarified butter, is a type of butter that has been melted and simmered for a long time until all the water has evaporated and the milk solids have separated. It is made by heating regular butter, which is made from cow's milk, until it melts and forms into layers. The top layer is the ghee that is then scooped off and cooled down.
Ghee is used in cooking and it has a high smoke point meaning it can be heated to a high temperature without burning. It is also known for its flavor and is commonly used in Indian cuisine.
Ghee has many health benefits, such as being rich in vitamins A, D, and E, and it is better for those who are lactose intolerant as it has no milk solids. It is also believed to be good for the digestive system, and it can aid in weight loss.
In short, ghee is a type of butter that has been heated until almost all of the water and milk solids are gone, leaving just the good stuff behind, and it is used in cooking and has many health benefits.
