Ghee is a nutrient-rich food, including vitamins A, D, E and K, which depend on fat to be properly absorbed by the body. It is also rich in butyric acid helpful for supporting healthy gut microbiomes. Ayurveda recommends roasting or cooking food in ghee to make it not only more flavorful but also more active, nutritionally. You can use ghee in place of butter, oils and spreads for a healthy and delicious alternative.
