Guest guest Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Our nutritionist suggested trying some ghee for my son to help him maintain his weight. I bought some, now what? How does one eat ghee? Do you eat it warm or cold? Do you cook with it? Do you mix it with something? Is it like a condiment? I am totally lost. Lori Mom to , 11 years, ASD, SCD 6 mos.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Ghee is great for cooking and frying, because the milk solid are removed so you can heat it higher without it smoking. It has a nice butter flavor, without the milk solids. I imagine you could spread it like butter, but I've mainly used it in recipes and for frying and sauteeing. Just use it like oil or butter. Hope this helps. Mother of Virya, age 16, SCD since March 07 lori choruby wrote: Our nutritionist suggested trying some ghee for my son to help him maintain his weight. I bought some, now what?

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 I should have mentioned, ghee is also called " clarified butter. " It's made by heating the butter and then skimming off the milk solids. Because it's clarified, it will keep for a long time without going rancid, and it's good for cooking of all kinds. lori choruby wrote: Thanks!
