Desi Ghee
· Clarified Butter
· Urdu Name: خالص دیسی گھی
Description
Desi Ghee is made from the milk of indigenous cows and buffaloes, particularly those of Southern Punjab of Pakistan. It has been an essential ingredient in cooking and Ayurvedic medicine for centuries, known for its rich, nutty flavor and distinct aroma. Desi ghee is a type of clarified butter, also known as anhydrous milk fat. Unlike standard clarified butter, which can be made quickly, desi ghee is simmered for a longer time at a low heat to draw out a richer, nuttier flavor. Desi ghee offers various health benefits, including supporting gut health and immunity due to butyric acid and fat-soluble vitamins. It can also aid weight management and heart health by providing easily metabolized fatty acids, while its antioxidants combat oxidative stress. Ghee is also noted for promoting skin and hair health, aiding joint health, and potentially supporting hormonal balance.
