It's ghee butter
It is rich in beneficial nutrients and fatty acids, which play an important role in maintaining good health. It has a high smoke point (temperatures at which fat begins to burn producing unhealthy compounds) and is therefore recommended for grilling and cooking. Its advantage is that it also contains no lactose or casein, which can be eaten by allergic organs and people with intolerance to a given ingredient.
Where to buy ghee butter, price
Ghee butter is commonly available in most supermarkets, usually in refrigerators next to other greases for lubrication, sold in 500 ml, plastic buckets. The price of butter is PLN 20/500 ml. It may be a bit more expensive than standard butter, but due to its properties it is worth its price.
How do you make ghee butter?
Ingredients: 4 cubes of butter. Making: melt the butter by placing it in a jug on a small fire. Cooking for about 30 minutes without covering until all the water is cooked. Permanent particles will fall to the bottom and attach to it. Butter should be mixed from time to time and be careful not to allow the sediment to burn. Turn off the fire when it seems to be completely clear. Leave it in the pot for a while longer so that the whole sediment falls off. Clear butter, available in most supermarkets, is great for frying and as an additive to soup or sauce. Thanks to its properties, it has a positive effect on health.
