5 benefits of cooking with ghee
MISSION,
Kan., July 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- (Family
Features) It's easy to fall into a dinnertime rut, cooking the same
meals with the same ingredients time and again. When your family is
in search of a delicious way to shake things up in the kitchen,
consider new ways to cook favorite dishes without completely
rethinking the menu.
Replacing tired ingredients is an easy solution when classic
recipes become bland and boring, which is a perfect reason to try
cooking with 4th & Heart Ghee. As a 1:1 substitute for butter
or oil, its spreadable texture makes it easy to use in baked goods,
grilled dishes and beyond.
This superfood can do all the things butter can do – like make
toast taste awesome and trick your kids into eating broccoli – but
with additional benefits. For example, it maintains its molecular
integrity at high temperatures, can be digested by lactose
intolerant people, supports weight loss, improves digestion and
reduces inflammation.
Consider these benefits of choosing 4th & Heart Ghee instead
of butter:
- Grass-fed and pasture-raised: It's packed with naturally
occurring fatty acids and CLA, which can improve gut health and
biochemistry.
- Spreadable and shelf-stable: Ghee is shelf-stable for up
to 12 months and is best kept in the pantry. This means you never
have to scramble to bring butter to room temperature quickly when
baking or risk mangling your toast with cold butter.
- High smoke point: When oil smokes, it becomes a trans
fatty acid. With a smoke point of 485 F, ghee lets you cook away
without worrying about high temperatures.
- Natural source of butyric acid: Butyric acid naturally
occurs in your gut and in ghee, helping your body absorb nutrients
from the foods you eat.
- Buttery taste: Ghee made in the traditional style
provides a delicious, light and buttery taste, perfect for this
Sweet Potato Bowl with Cilantro, Turmeric Ghee and Lime. It's ideal
for a light lunch or dinner as it's bursting with vibrant flavors
and wholesome ingredients.
