Ghee
Limited nutritional benefit
Clarified butter (ghee), almost pure milk fat, values as sold.
Ghee is butter simmered until the water evaporates and the milk solids brown and are strained off, leaving almost pure milk fat; it is the traditional cooking fat of South Asia, used for frying, tempering spices and over rice and dal. A 10 g portion, about two teaspoons, has about 88 kcal and 10 g of fat, over 6 g of it saturated, with about 85 µg of vitamin A. Without water and milk solids it keeps for months unrefrigerated and can be heated hotter than butter.
