Ghee (Clarified Butter) is a semi-liquid form of Butter that has the milk solids and water removed by following a special heating and straining process. Stays fresh up to 6 months and dos not need refrigeration. Takes about an hour (approx) for the entire process.
For those of us on a GFCF (Gluten Free/Casein Free) diet than butter is off the menu. Butter contains Casein, which is a milk protein that can cause all sorts of havoc to a body and brain who is suffering from either Autism, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Lyme disease, or any autoimmune diseases.
So, rather than suffering without butter, there is GHEE. You can make Ghee at home and it's very healthy. By boiling regular UNSALTED butter for a while at a low temperature you can remove the casein from the butter to make it "safe" to eat.
As most of you know I am NOT a fan of margarine or any other fake butter out there, they are all bad for you in my opinion. The only thing that I feel is "safe" and healthy is real butter (preferably organic) but since it has casein we just turn it into Ghee and then it's not only healthy but safe as well.
For those who are not sick with CFS/Fibro, Autism. Lyme disease, or any other chronic long-term illness than I would recommend using regular butter (preferably organic) instead of Ghee, since your gut can probably tolerate casein.
