What it is

Ghee is a type of clarified butter, meaning the milk solids and water have been removed. It originates from ancient India and is made by simmering butter until the water evaporates and the milk solids separate, then straining the remaining oil.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use ghee for its rich, nutty flavor and high smoke point, which makes it suitable for high-heat cooking. It is found in baked goods, cooking oils, and as a spread.

Health notes

Ghee is a traditional food product and is generally recognized as safe when consumed as part of a typical diet. It is primarily composed of fat, including saturated fat. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend keeping saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. As a basic food, ghee has not been specifically evaluated by JECFA or EFSA as a food additive.

Allergen info

Ghee is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
