To ghee or not to ghee

cookieshop

hello everyone, I am trying to incorporate some mcts into my diet. Don't like the taste of coconut oil, so is ghee a good alternative?

I've started cooking in ghee due to its low smoke point, currently am limiting my daily ghee amount to about 10-12 gms

Yes Ghee is great . My husband is Indian so we use quite a bit in our cooking.

The limit to ghee is 3-6 table spoons per day consumption pet person is ok.

Avocado, macadamia and olives are good too.

You consume 360-720 calories of ghee a day? There are much better choices of calories like whole foods or olive and avocado oils. PUFA/MUFA are linked to improved health, while most SFAs do not carry the same association.

But in terms of cooking foods, I use Ghee, olive and avocado oil, and the occasional bacon fat. But most are in small portions.


Btw, OP hasn't been here for 6 years.

Ghee is just clarified butter. You can easily make it yourself.
