About Ghee teaspoon
Ghee, a type of clarified butter, originates from South Asian cuisine and is widely used in Indian cooking. A teaspoon of ghee typically contains around 5 grams of fat, including saturated fats, and is free of lactose and casein, making it suitable for those with dairy sensitivities. Rich in fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K, it is known to support skin health, vision, and immunity. Ghee also contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and butyrate, which may aid digestion and reduce inflammation. While ghee is calorie-dense, offering around 45 calories per teaspoon, it is prized for its ability to promote nutrient absorption and deliver a pure flavor profile in dishes. Moderation is key, as excessive consumption can lead to increased cholesterol levels. Ghee is especially popular with ketogenic and Ayurvedic diets for its wholesome properties and ability to enhance both health and taste.
