Grass fed cow ghee is known to be called the “better butter”. There are many reasons why:

Ghee contains more fat per gram than butter: one TBSP of ghee contains 14g fat compared to 1 12g in butter.
Ghee offers a higher smoke point than butter: 485°F (252°C) versus 350°F (177°C) for butter.
Cow ghee has a better shelf life: Grass fed is more shelf stable and can be preserved without refrigeration, saving you fridge space.
Grass fed Ghee is suitable for those that are lactose intolerant: Ghee is clarified butter, so all the milk solids and proteins are filtered out. Many individuals with a lactose allergy can consume ghee fine but not butter.
Grass fed organic Ghee contains vitamins, butyrates, and CLAs which are gut friendly and good for your health.
Ghee contains Medium Chain Triglycerides ¹ (MCTs) and this is excellent in providing high energy levels and helping with cognitive functioning.
