Ghee

[Guest guest]

Hi Bee and all:

My name is Hala and I've been on the candida diet for 3 months now. I

have a question regarding Ghee. I bought a jar of Ghee from a store

but I noticed that it doesn't melt at the room temperature and it

smelled weird and looked more like a hard wax. Then I bought another

Ghee from a different store and this one was melting and smelled good.

I read that some people cheat the real Ghee by adding oil to the

butter! the question is how can i tell a difference between a real

Butter Ghee and a fake one? I know it's better to buy the butter and

do it at home. But I still want to know how to tell the difference

between a store bought Ghee whether it's real of fake.

Thanks

+++Hi Hala. I've bought Ghee from my health store but didn't find

any that were weird like you describe. My goodness, it certainly is

disconcerting when you can't trust the foods in a health store either.

I don't think you can tell the difference in the health store. It

would be cheaper and safer to make your own. It isn't difficult at

all - here's the recipe:

Hi Hala and Bee,

I read the below and I had the same experience (I think) as Hala. I bought

some Ghee from an upscale grocery store, and the expiration date was not for

a LONG time away. I can't remember if it was refrigerated? I think it was on

the shelf at the store. It smelled weird when I opened it, and it cooked

fine but made my food taste bad (in my opinion). My husband thought the

same. I will try making my own. Thanks,

+++Hi . I don't know, but I wouldn't be concerned about a small

amount of lactose (sugar), since veggies contain a lot more sugars than

butter.

Also the butterfat helps your body break down lactose.
