Oh M (grass-fed) GHEE
This is my new jam, I mean do you see that bright yellow color?? That rich yellow comes from the grass the cows were eating, craaazzy right! I always tell my clients to eat as much variety from the rainbow in order to get the most nutrient density in your diet. This GHEE is a perfect example! I am OBSESSED with the release of this new product, and you now can get it to too! (just click the pic below)
So what even is GHEE?
Simply ghee is clarified butter. It has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic countries like India and Asia. Ghee tastes different then butter, I would explain it as a stronger more nutty flavor. It enhances flavors especially with spices (think curries, sauces, Thai food, etc). It pairs very well with veggies and long simmered meats. Stay tuned for some recipes coming up!
Why is it good for us?
VITAMIN A- an essential antioxidants as well as an immune system booster
BUTYRATE- a short chain amino acid that helps digestion and feeds the GOOD bacteria in our guts
CLA (CONJUGATED LINOLEUM ACID)- research studies show that it reduces inflammation and helps with cholesterol levels
PLUS it has a significant VITAMIN D, E & K, I mean look at that color
Why use GHEE over BUTTER?
Ghee has a higher smoke point then butter, meaning if you cook an oil at a higher smoke point then it can handle, it becomes oxidized
Ghee is essentially dairy-free, it contains no casein or lactose
Ghee is more nutrient-dense then butter, (especially when using Bulletproof brand)
Ghee needs NO refrigeration, I love traveling with mine
How is GHEE made?
All GHEE is not created equal, you want cows that eat grass (hints the yellow color) and are healthy. The method of how it is heated, just like the food we cook, can destroy essential properties and nutrients. Below is a simple method explaining how Bulletproof creates this amazing product by using a slow Ayurvedic cooking method.
