Ghee

Ghee is a type of clarified butter made by simmering butter to evaporate water and remove milk solids, resulting in a pure, golden fat with a rich, nutty, and caramelized flavor. Originating from the Indian subcontinent, it has a high smoke point (approx. 485°F), is shelf-stable, and is naturally lactose- and casein-free, making it suitable for high-heat cooking and those with dairy sensitivities.
