About Teaspoon ghee

Teaspoon Ghee is a clarified butter originating from South Asia, widely used in Indian cuisine and Ayurvedic traditions. Made by simmering butter to remove water and milk solids, ghee is rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, and E. It contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are quickly metabolized for energy, and butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid that supports digestive health. Ghee’s high smoke point makes it suitable for cooking at elevated temperatures without breaking down into harmful compounds. While ghee is nutrient-dense, its high saturated fat content means moderation is key, especially for individuals monitoring cholesterol levels. Free from lactose and casein, it is often tolerated by those with dairy sensitivities. Teaspoon Ghee adds a nutty, rich flavor to dishes and is ideal for sautéing, baking, or drizzling over rice and vegetables. Its wholesome profile makes it a versatile and treasured ingredient in kitchens worldwide.
