It is important to understand that Ghee is a superfood of India, it is used from centuries making it a time tested wonder food. It also makes it place in Ayurveda, It is difficult to put in all the benefits of ghee together but here are some to understand its greatness.

• It is pure fat(void of milk solids) so lactose intolerants, people on paleo diets can use it.
• Ghee when eaten with carbs(like rice) makes the meal low glycemic thus slow sugar absorption in the body, great for diabetics.!
• It is a natural moisturizer , I remember my grand mom used to moisturize her hands &legs with ghee and put a little bit on her lips in the winter season, sit in the sun and read her newspaper.! So nostalgic I must say.

It is believed that Ghee derived from Holy Indian cow is the purest form of ghee.!
