GHEE...and what is that you may ask?

I loved working at the Lamb Shoppe because I was introduced to so many new and exciting healthy products. That is where I first heard about Ghee... I had switched back to using butter after realizing the calories were identical to the butter substitutes I had been using..so why wouldn't I eat the real thing? 

I use butter too... from grass-fed cows when I can find it... but Ghee definitely is what i use for frying and sauteing.

I'm not the only one in the family that knows  the benefits of Ghee!! 
Margi was at her brothers and saw that he was using Ghee and had to send me the picture...so I told her to take one of her and her Ghee!

Ghee Benefits

Ghee has been used for thousands of years, quite literally. It’s truly an “ancient” health food and definitely not a fad. The first known use of butter was back in 2000 BC. It became very popular in the cooler northern parts of India, but didn’t survive well in the southern warmer regions. It’s believed that the southerners are responsible for clarifying butter, in order to keep it from spoiling.

Ghee quickly was integrated into the diet, into ceremonial practice and into Ayurvedic healing practices

. It’s believed to promote both mental purification and physical purification through its ability to cleanse and support wellness. Ghee benefits the body both inside and out, and is actually used topically to treat burns and rashes as well as to moisturize the skin and scalp. Much like coconut oil, it’s a multi-use fat that is healthy in many ways!
