What Is Vegetable Ghee?

Traditional Ghee

• Traditional ghee is a creamy spread produced by boiling butter until the liquids and solids have separated. The liquid is then separated from the solid and packaged as ghee.

Ingredients

• Vegetable ghee is a vegetarian alternative to this product. It is made up almost entirely of hardened vegetable oil and is free from any milk products.

Uses

• It is ideal for various forms of cooking, such as baking, sautéing and deep frying. It is also used as a spread on bread or vegetables.

Texture and Appearance

• Both traditional ghee and vegetable ghee have a texture and appearance similar to lard. However, neither of these items contains animal fat.

Flavor

• Despite its resemblance to lard, vegetable ghee is cholesterol-free. It has a buttery, nutty taste that is somewhat milder than that of traditional ghee.
