The past 5/6 months have seen Indian consumers eating dairy products more including ghee, reports a media daily. Thanks to the lockdown period, Indian consumers had rustled up their culinary experience and reason being there was an uptick of ghee consumption besides other dairy products. Where milk and dairy products are a major supplier of essential nutrients to the human body, cow ghee is a carrier of fat-soluble vitamins including A, D, E and K, which our bodies need in very small quantities but can’t make for itself. These vitamins perform many essential functions. Similarly, the essential fatty acids, which cannot be synthesized in our body, are also supplied by ghee.
Cow ghee is the pure clarified fat-derived solely from milk or curd or desi butter or from cream to which no colouring matter flavor or preservative gets added. Ghee is an important dairy product that enters inter-state trade too.
