Traditional ghee, often called liquid gold in Indian households, has been a cornerstone of healthy cooking for thousands of years. Unlike commercial ghee, traditional ghee is made using time-honored methods that preserve its nutritional integrity and therapeutic properties. ## The Traditional Process Our ancestors understood that the process of making ghee was as important as the final product. Traditional ghee is made by slowly simmering butter made from grass-fed cow's milk, allowing the water to evaporate and the milk solids to separate. This slow cooking process, often taking several hours, creates a rich, aromatic ghee with a deep golden color. ## Health Benefits Traditional ghee is rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. It contains butyric acid, which supports digestive health and has anti-inflammatory properties. The medium-chain fatty acids in ghee are easily absorbed by the body and can boost metabolism. ## Cooking with Traditional Ghee The high smoke point of ghee makes it perfect for high-temperature cooking. Its rich, nutty flavor enhances both sweet and savory dishes, making it a versatile ingredient in traditional Indian cuisine. ## GOWKUL's Commitment At GOWKUL, we follow traditional methods passed down through generations to create pure, authentic ghee that brings the wisdom of our ancestors to your modern kitchen.
