The Health Benefits of Ghee & How to Use It in Everyday Cooking

For centuries, ghee has been at the heart of Indian cooking — from buttery rotis and fragrant rice dishes to Ayurveda-inspired wellness drinks. Today, this golden ingredient is trending globally as a superfood, appreciated for its flavor, health benefits, and versatility.

At Kashmir Food, you’ll find high-quality Indian ghee, including A2 desi ghee, cow ghee, and premium brand ghee, perfect for home cooking.

⭐️ Why Ghee Is Considered a Superfood

Ghee is more than clarified butter — it’s a nutrient-rich fat with unique benefits:

✓ Good for Digestion

Ghee contains butyrate, a fatty acid known to support digestion and gut health.

✓ Rich in Healthy Fats

These fats help absorb fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K.

✓ Lactose-Free

Since ghee is clarified, it contains almost no lactose, making it easier for sensitive individuals.

✓ High Smoke Point

Perfect for frying, roasting, and sautéing without burning.

✓ Natural Anti-Inflammatory Properties

Traditionally used in Ayurveda to support joint and skin health.
