Organic Ghee

Organic ghee is a type of clarified butter. It is made by simmering butter, which separates the milk solids and water from the butterfat. The milk solids are then removed, leaving behind a pure butterfat product. The "organic" designation means it is made from milk sourced from organically raised cows.

Manufacturers use ghee as a cooking fat, flavor enhancer, and ingredient in various food products. Its rich, nutty flavor and high smoke point make it suitable for baking, sautéing, and as a spread. It is often found in nut and seed butters, snack bars, and dessert spreads.

Ghee is primarily composed of fat, including saturated fat. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. As a traditional food ingredient, ghee is not regulated as a food additive by the FDA. It is generally recognized as safe when consumed as part of a balanced diet. JECFA and EFSA typically evaluate food additives, not whole food ingredients like ghee.
