Ghee, known as Clarified butter, is well known as an effective ingredient in our food. The adulteration in milk products is rampant nowadays. However, people still believe ghee is an ayurvedic medicine for various diseases and has huge importance in all the ritual ceremonies. Let’s look at how ghee is beneficial for us and how to check the purity of ghee.
Benefits of Ghee
Cow Ghee Vs Vegetable Ghee (Vanaspati Tup)
As I mentioned above, ghee has evolved with various shades and types from time to time. Cow ghee and Vegetable ghee are two of them. When it comes to choosing between both of them, there is always a question arouses, which is better? So first let’s clear the concept of what is vegetable ghee?
Indian restaurants and some households may use partially hydrogenated vegetable oil (also known as vanaspati, dalda, or "vegetable ghee") in place of ghee because of its lower cost. This "vegetable ghee" may contain trans fat.
According to research vanaspati ghee is high in calories. One tablespoon of vanaspati ghee contains 122.4 calories as compared to 85.6 calories in Desi cow ghee. There is no doubt that desi cow ghee contains saturated fat and is high in cholesterol; vanaspati ghee contains trans fats that can have more adverse affect on your body. Thus Cow ghee is healthier than vegetable ghee.
How to check the purity of ghee
As we move ahead, the next question arises is where to buy pure cow ghee. The grocery shops near you may not assure you about the ghee purity. It may also include human hand touched while packaging. Hence, one can buy cow ghee from online grocery shops.You can believe in the quality of products from these brands while purchasing via online medium.
So, make sure to check whether ghee is pure or not and enjoy the warmness of pure cow ghee.
