Production process
Ghee is produced by prolonged heating of top-quality butter. This process removes water and solid matter (sugar and protein) until all that is left is clear, golden liquid – 99% pure milk fat. The butter used to make ghee needs to be of the highest quality. Otherwise, ghee won’t have its positive effect on the body and the mind.
