Got Ghee? I Do!

And I am willing to share! If you are local, come and stock up Pure Indian Foods Ghee and save on shipping!  I’ve got these four in stock (local pickup only); Cultured, Garlic, Plain and Digestive Ghee. What’s your favorite?

Here’s why you need it:

• Ghee is super for for cooking at high heat. This fat is extremely stable and will not oxidize.
• Ghee contains healthy fat soluble vitamins which aids in the absorption of nutrients in foods and are essential for good health.
• Higher in Omega-3 Fats
• Casein and Lactose-Free: During the clarification process, milk solids are removed, leaving the healthy butter fats behind. Small, trace amounts of casein and lactose can possibly remain in the ghee, but unless a person is extremely sensitive, consuming ghee will be fine, even if dairy is not. Please discuss this with your doctor if you have any concerns about triggering an allergic response.
• Shelf Stable: A well-prepared ghee has very little moisture content and is very shelf-stable.
• Rich Flavor: Ghee has a rich, sweet and deliciously nutty flavor. A little amount of ghee adds a lot of flavor to the food.

Salt is salt, right? Nope. Salt is complex and essential to our survival. And there is a LOT of misinformation given by our USDA regarding salt and dietary guidelines in general. We have been wrongly told to eat a low salt, low fat diet with lots of healthy grains…and this will improve our health…This is just plain wrong! Read more…
