I think that Ghee is butter with the milk solids (fat?) removed. It's in a

lot of low fat diets. I don't use it. Give me good ole butter anyday.

Heavy cream has no carbs. Heavy cream when whipped becomes whipped cream.

When beaten too much, it becomes butter and something that doesn't taste

good. I use it cut with water instead of milk/soy/etc when a recipe calls

for milk or for that rare cup of hot chocolate. It tastes great and doesn't

effect me like milk/soy does.

Max, you are right --Ghee has the milk solids removed, but, it is NOT a

low fat product. It is 100% fat and has 14 gr. in each tablespoon.

Evidently, it is the milk solids that are bad for us.

If you like to cook with butter, as I do, ghee is a better choice as it

does not burn. It is expensive in HFS, but I buy the butter when on sale

and make my own. Very easy. ...Wanda
