Is desi ghee good for health?
Desi Ghee is Healthy as compared to vegetable oil. When cooking, it can be unhealthy to heat polyunsaturated oils such as vegetable oils to high temperatures. Doing so creates peroxides and other free radicals. These substances lead to a variety of health problems and diseases. On the other hand, ghee has a very high smoke point and doesn’t burn or smoke easily during cooking. Because ghee has the more stable saturated bonds it is not as likely to form dangerous free radicals or advanced glycation endproducts when cooking. Like any clarified butter, ghee is composed almost entirely of saturated fat. Ghee has been shown to reduce serum cholesterol in one rodent study.
