What is useful ghee and how to cook it at home. Ghee: properties and composition, application and storage

What does vegetable ghee mean (see photo and explanation)?

Such vegetable oil is very similar to palm oil. Everywhere we have everything made on palm oil - ice cream, shortbread cookies, cream cheese, butter. Palm oil is used as a dietary supplement, and in cosmetics,

Hmm ... melted vegetable oil?

On the bank from the picture there is no information about what the oil is from: sunflower, olive, mustard, nut or whatever

Meanwhile, oils of plant origin at room temperature are both liquid (sunflower, olive, mustard) and solid (coconut, palm, palm kernel). In order for solid oil to transfer to the liquid phase, it must be melted or simply heated to the melting point.

In the preparation of certain products, certain oils are used. Moreover, solid oils are usually heated to the melting point during the preparation of a particular product. As far as I know, these are elite varieties of soap. In any case, the melted oil after cooling to room temperature again goes into the solid phase. Why is the oil from the picture before capping in a jar melted is known except to God

In any case, I would refuse to purchase, and even more so the use, of such a jar even despite the bright label.

At one time I watched a lot Habitat ;, the transmission was such on TV. And probably there was about vegetable butter. This is probably from the same series. Vegetable oil is taken, most likely cheap, such as palm and is broken by hydrogen. I don’t know how it is and what’s going on, but it turns out that the oil tastes like butter. And for the price, there’s no need to talk. The only difference is the fat content. Butter - minimum fat content of 73%. And that which is 72.5% or even lower is hydrogen. The benefit from it, of course, is very large (for the manufacturer’s pocket), but for some reason I do not want it. And then the second year I’m getting around somehow.

I did not find an official answer. Therefore, I will write my own. As you know, unrefined vegetable oil smells very peculiar and not everyone likes. Moreover, it is not only sunflower, but also cotton.

For this reason, when they cook pilaf, shurpa or any other fry food, the oil is strongly calcined in a cauldron until white smoke appears. And only after that they throw meat and vegetables there. Lamb must also be fried in such oil. Then she does not have a very pleasant specific smell.

The result is delicious food, free from unpleasant odors for many (I do not consider lovers of unrefined oil who like its smell, there are some).

Refined oil does not need to be calcined. It smells nothing anyway. For cooking, it is enough just to heat it.

So I think that vegetable ghee is just a low-grade oil, which is calcined, cooled and poured into jars in order to rid cooks of smoke in the kitchen when cooking food.

Whether such oil is useful - I doubt it. With strong heating, harmful substances appear in such an oil. Although they do not affect much health! In Central Asia, oil is traditionally calcined before cooking, but it’s impossible to say that people there often get sick from it.

Dear readers, hello! In this article I will tell you how to make ghee at home. Ghee is also called Ghee butter - this word came to us from India, where such butter is considered the most valuable healing product. In Russia, too, they used to often drown butter, but, unfortunately, over time, these traditions were lost. Today I will describe the beneficial properties of ghee and its recipe.

I just want to apologize for the quality of the photos - I cooked the oil in the evening, and the camera of my phone is not able to take high-quality pictures in unnatural light. I will try to smooth it out using a detailed description of the process).

But first, why do you need to cook ghee at all. The fact is that this is one of two oils on which to cook. The second is coconut oil. Everything, nothing else to cook on. You may ask, what about refined sunflower oil? I answer.

Refined oils are obtained by thermal and chemical processing of vegetable oils. In this case, chemical solvents are used - hexane, similar in composition to gasoline. During further processing, the solvents are evaporated and the oil is converted to trans fats. You already know why margarine should not be used - because it also has trans fats. So, these same trans fats are also found in refined oil. In general, trans fats appeared relatively recently, and our body has not yet learned how to remove them. Imagine: even if you completely stop consuming foods with trans fats, the body can only remove them after 2 years. Any refined oil is dangerous to health, and I do not advise anyone to consume them.

Add cold-pressed oils to salads - olive, mustard, linseed, sesame. Cooking on them is also impossible, because when heated, they form carcinogens that are dangerous to the body. As I said, only coconut oil and ghee (ghee oil) are suitable for cooking.

The benefits of ghee

Ghee is pure milk fat. It is easily absorbed, absolutely non-toxic. In addition to what you can cook on it, it is useful to add it to cereals and other dishes. It can speed up the metabolism and help digestion. In India, it is believed that Ghee oil has the energy of the Sun, increasing the vitality of a person.

Ghee is an antioxidant, it protects us from free radicals, helping to prolong youth and beauty. It also strengthens the immune system and improves vision. You can list its useful properties for a long time). But, perhaps, I’ll move on to a step-by-step recipe for its preparation)).

How to cook ghee

You will need unsalted butter, the fat content of which is at least 82%. If the fat content is less, it means that there are some additives in the oil, and ghee will not work out of it.

You can heat the oil in the oven and on the stove. Enamel cookware and cookware with non-stick coating are suitable. You cannot heat oil in aluminum! The process itself is simple, just two three). You do not need to interfere in the heating process, the oil is heated by itself - the main thing is to ensure that it does not burn.

Cut the butter into pieces of 50-100 grams, put in a bowl and put on the weakest fire. The bowl should be larger than the estimated oil volume, as in the process, the oil can foam very much. Gradually, the oil will begin to melt:

After 5 minutes, the oil will completely melt. Now you need to set a minimum fire, at which the oil will boil slightly. I have a gas stove, and the oil boils even on the smallest fire, and foam begins to form:

It is not necessary to remove the foam; it will be filtered out by filtering the oil. Make sure that water does not get into the oil - even if 1 drop gets in, it starts to splash strongly).

Gradually, the protein begins to separate from the fat. The cooking time of the oil depends on its quantity. 300 grams of butter will be ready in about 25 minutes (and in the oven it would be cooked for about 45 minutes).

How to determine if the oil is ready? The oil will be ready when it becomes transparent and the bottom of the pan is visible. At the same time, a precipitate forms at the bottom (since fats are separated into proteins during the cooking process, which settle on the bottom). Ghee should be a beautiful amber color. If it is darker, then you overexposed it. The first time I overexposed oil, tk. I didn’t expect it to cook so quickly. Now I don’t leave the stove, I check it all the time).

When the oil is ready, it must be filtered through a sieve with gauze or bandage folded in 4 layers, where the foam and sediment remain. Any glass jar will do.

And the oil itself is transparent, it has a slight nutty flavor. About 300 grams of melted butter was obtained from 300 grams of butter.

When the oil cools, it will already be opaque. You need to store it in a dark cabinet. I store it for no more than a month, although it is believed that melted butter has an unlimited shelf life.

Ghee in the oven

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees, put a bowl with butter cut into pieces. Periodically check its color - it has become transparent, which means it’s ready. Still easier than cooking oil on the stove)).

Ghee immediately after cooking

If I fry something, I only fry in Ghee butter. I myself completely refused fried food, but my husband is not going to do it yet). And to make fried food as safe as possible, I only cook in ghee.

I really hope you find this information useful. In the modern world, it is quite difficult to separate the harmful from the useful because of the abundance of advertising and human errors. I wish you to be healthy, eat healthy food and all the best to you!)

Homemade ghee (ghee butter): 82 comments

Alexandra
thanks, but in English is malai? Do I understand correctly?
Liza
Hello, thank you very much for such useful articles! I want to consult with you. The situation is this: my hair is prone to oily, fall out. Once a week, wash my hair with flour. The second time for the whole day I’m doing this mask: castor oil on the roots, olive length. After washing off with shampoo. And after that there is always a bunch of hair in the bath. In your opinion, should I make oily masks, if I do not see the benefit yet, only a greater loss? I also tried to replace shampoo with tar soap, but it does not wash hair well. I also tried to wash off the butter with flour, kept the flour on my head for an hour - nothing was washed off. How do you manage to rinse the butter with flour?
1. Anna Posted by
  Lisa, hello! The main thing is not how much to keep rye flour on your head, but how to intensively “soap” it. Try to make more flour and thicker. Everything should work out!
  Oil masks are always first accompanied by increased hair loss, then everything normalizes. Do not worry! Oils are very useful, and soon you will notice a positive effect.
Anastasia
Anna, thank you very much for the article, I heard about GHI oil for a long time, but my hands did not reach to get acquainted in more detail.
Question: butter contains a lot of cholesterol, so people who have high cholesterol in their blood - oil is prohibited. People like me are interrupted by the plant spreads of the рода Rama ’.
Do you know, in ghee, the cholesterol content changes or persists?
Alexandra
An, I bought myself a finished butter dish yesterday from the Indians. It's good. And then I began to think, maybe you will dispel my speculation ...
Look, this turns out NOT animal fat, but animal, so why is it better than margarine, let’s say okay, they have already refused it for 10 years, and why is it better than vegetable fats? ...
Alexandra
ugh you, vegetable oils I had in mind. Is it bad to fry in sunflower, soy or canola?
Alexandra
no, I'm not against gi butter. I took it and I’ll try, I just don’t know how the taste of food changes when cooking on it, for example, frying with borsch or fish.
1. Anna Posted by
  The taste does not change a drop) Try it!
Alexandra
I take Chavanprash with warm milk. Soon to finish.)) And the bringaraj began. While also taking warm milk.

And for what purpose did you take Gui at night?
1. Anna Posted by
  There was no particular goal, there was a feeling that the body needed it. After such a course, all metabolic problems have finally passed).
  You well done, useful herbs!
  1. Anna Posted by
    And by the way, how do you like chavanprash? What was it taken for and what do you feel after the course of administration?)
  2. Alexandra
    thank you)) Bringaraj has just begun. I will continue. I accept for hair. taste - like coltsfoot))

Alexandra
Anechka, where is the best oil to store? In the refrigerator or just like that at room temperature?
Angelina
Ahhh! I finally cooked it! Everything worked out for me :) Ah, what a flavor he has, I'm bastard))) Thank you, Anna, this is just a discovery! I'll try to fry it tomorrow.
Angelina
A question has ripened: is it possible to use this oil for cosmetic purposes?)
Julia27
Anna, in your comments read that you are trying to eat healthy food. Maybe you will share your experience, how to love all that is useful, how to cultivate willpower, how to give up harmful, other delicious goodies (I'm talking about sweets)? So you want to be healthy. But enjoyment of food is one of the most enjoyable things in our life. And yet - what is your reaction to the comments of other people (including your husband) about your diet and lifestyle? thank
Anna
Anya, please tell me, can this oil be stored in the refrigerator? Well, not only to use for frying, but for sandwiches, for example
Anna
Anna, what do you do with sediment from melted butter? It is most logical to dispose of it, but on many sites they write that it can be used in baking. Why get pure oil if its waste then goes to food too? I can’t figure it out ...
1. Anna Posted by
  Anna, I don’t understand why they write it somewhere. I throw away all the sediment and foam, using only pure oil.
Anna
I will try, thanks for the answers!
Tatyana
Anna! Is it possible to eat sediment and foam or, say, smear on the skin (if it is protein, then it is useful in principle)?
Victoria
I bought the most expensive oil (fat content above 82.5 “Traditional”, makes our Odoev, Tula region), which I considered the best (it tastes better than the rest of the butter that I tried). Everything turned out great ... But when I tried the foam, it was the real milk powder .... I’m now wondering if it will definitely be useful, because I don’t know what they put it there and what it was made of (although the composition contains 100% cream) ... Perhaps this recipe is only suitable for those who have their own cow or can buy their own butter verified people. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it should be so. Has anyone tasted foam? Share, I really want to hear those people who make ghee from their homemade butter.
One comment I found where the girl made from her homemade butter, she writes:
"Good afternoon!
Hurray, I did it, thanks for the recipe.
   Only I have one question: tell me I had almost no sediment,
   what does it mean?
   I can assume that my homemade oil means natural,
   Am I right or not? ”

A reference to another recipe for ghee butter, I copied the comment from there.
http://www.povarenok.ru/recipes/show/23413/
(This recipe was written by a very bright man, a bright memory to him).
Faruselka
I also made Ghee butter, but I ate it so much during my homemade panchakarma that I don’t want to watch, not even fry. I hope this will pass over time. I also read on the Internet that it is smeared on the face and wrinkles are smoothed, especially for dry skin. But she didn’t. But for older people, ghee with honey is very useful, only honey and ghee should not be the same. Either more ghee and less honey, or vice versa. This is how Ayurveda write.
And not only to the elderly, but to everyone, when the bones especially crackle, it acts like a lubricant.
I have had ghee for the third month now, it’s just in the closet, it’s normal, it doesn’t spoil. We need to get together and cook from it.
Nina
If the oil turned out to be a little lighter than amber, then didn’t it? But it is transparent .. there really are a few suspended particles ..
Wikule
Hello Anna!
After a couple of weeks of storage in a dark place, white flakes and sediment began to form in my oil. What happened to him?)) I did everything according to the prescription) Thank you)
Lyuba
Anya, for the first time today I did it like you - that is, without throwing foam ... and I regretted it, all the same, through the cheesecloth (in 6 layers) there was a tiniest precipitate. And the donkey at the bottom with a thin film ... when I removed the foam, the oil was like a tear. The quality of the oil is guaranteed. I melted a lot of oil until ghee, I understand it very well ...
Lyuba
To check the quality of ghee, you need to freeze it in the refrigerator, and if there is graininess, then the oil is of the highest quality
I don’t keep in the refrigerator, I like soft butter more
Oksana
Wow! Useful information. I just came to the fact that I beat the butter myself (we bring home sour cream). I will not say that I have not heard about melted and have not eaten for 40 years)))), but how on time did the article with all the explanations.
Thank you
Alex
Excellent oil, the dishes do not burn clean, does not contain harmful impurities gives an excellent taste to the dish. By the way, you can buy in Odessa on the Greek square1. Tm "Life"

Ghee is a valuable healthy product that is concentrated milk fat. In Russia, such oil was called liquid gold for its beautiful yellow color and high nutritional and medicinal properties.

It can be stored at room temperature for 6 to 9 months, and in a cold place for up to one and a half years. In the old days, this was of great importance. After all, the glacier could only afford a fairly wealthy part of the population.

Let us consider in more detail what are the benefits, what are the beneficial properties of melted butter for the body, are there any harm and contraindications?

How to choose a good product and check its quality

After buying at home quality can be checked by melting the oil in a pan. It should not:

smoke (at temperatures below 205 degrees);

If the product does not meet these conditions, then it is better to try to return it to the seller or throw it away.

About the sample of the product says the expert - rector of MGUPP, professor D. A. Edeleva:

Ghee was widely used in ancient India. The sages claimed that such a simple product is able to rid the human body of many ailments. Ghee is achieved by heating the composition and removing excess water, lactose and protein from it. The composition is used for the prevention of various diseases. The product is also applied to damaged areas of the body.

What is ghee

The product is obtained through prolonged heat treatment. As a result, high concentration animal fat is obtained from butter. As a result, there are no harmful impurities in the melted product.
Ghee is usually extracted in two classic ways. In the first case, the product is processed on an industrial scale using a centrifuge. The second option is significantly different.
The product is installed in a steam bath and heated until excess moisture evaporates from the composition, excess enzymes come out. In the second case, a foam forms, which must be disposed of, and it contains protein.
Moisture disappears through heating and further evaporation. It is easy to bring the mixture to a perfect consistency. For this, the housewives resort to using a small sieve or a gauze filter. The composition is filtered in a separate container.
In the process of filtering the product, an ideally pure mass of saturated yellow is obtained. In ancient India, the sages called the composition liquid sun or molten gold. In this form, the product can be stored for a long time.

Features of ghee

Ghee contains the highest percentage of fat, so the product carries high nutritional value. Heat treatment of the composition at home allows you to save the necessary vitamins in ghee (E, A, D).
After evaporation of the liquid and removal of the protein, the concentration of trace elements increases significantly. Enzymes help maintain human health and beauty. Basically, butter is processed into a ghee for longer shelf life and usefulness.
If you live in a hot climate, such conditions adversely affect the products. Classic butter is not suitable after several days of storage at room temperature. A melted composition under the same conditions can be held for about 1 year or more.
The benefits of ghee have become known thanks to Indian teachings. Also, you do not need to be an expert to evaluate the fully rich vitamin composition of the product. The composition contains a concentration of vital trace elements and high energy value.
In ancient times, ghee did not pass Russia by. Experienced elders knew about the healing qualities of the product. Our ancestors actively struggled with osteoporosis, rickety, poor eyesight and problems of the gastrointestinal tract with ghee.

If you follow a number of rules for the processing of butter into a melted composition, it can be used not only for food purposes, but also in the fight against many ailments. It is known that ghee is widely used in folk medicine.
The product is loved for its effectiveness and safety for the body. Ghee, if properly processed, cannot actually harm a person. The composition is widely used for indoor and outdoor use.

If you suffer from frequent joint pain or discomfort in the lumbar region, ghee in the form of grinding will relieve inflammation and soothe the nerve endings. Rub with a small amount of the composition of the place that is most discomforting.
Ghee is especially effective during colds. If you have the first symptoms of an ailment, it is strongly recommended to rub the composition on the palms and feet. After the manipulation, go to bed.

If the emphasis is only on raising the immune system, then the product should be consumed on an empty stomach. It is advisable to combine the oil with fruits, honey, nuts or spicy spices. Effective composition in combination with natural yogurt. The result occurs in the first few days.

Harm to the body of ghee

Despite all the benefits of ghee and nutritional value, the product can harm the body. This is almost pure fat, so if you do not observe the daily rate of the product, you can damage the gastrointestinal tract.
Ghee also significantly harm the liver and pancreas. If you have found pathologies associated with these organs, it is strongly recommended that you refuse to use an animal product.
The ghee product has a high cholesterol content, so oil abuse will lead to the development of metabolic diseases and the occurrence of atherosclerosis.
It is forbidden to eat the product to people who are obese. The composition is considered to be very high in calories, so the use of ghee can aggravate the situation and provoke an even greater set of adipose tissue.
The product is great for frying and has a unique taste. Individuals who do not experience such problems will like dishes that are cooked in ghee. The product is not bitter or burning.

To make ghee at home, you do not need to have special knowledge and skills. The only condition is that only a natural composition without additives is suitable for a quality product.
For such purposes, it is necessary to melt the butter with a fat content of at least 82%. Chop the composition into pieces, send to the pan of the appropriate volume. Turn the stove on medium power, wait for the thawing of the oil.
Reduce the power of the burner to a minimum; do not cover the pan with a lid. Otherwise, moisture will have nowhere to go, it will remain in the composition. Carefully monitor the process, it is forbidden to allow the oil to boil.
Do not be alarmed if, at the beginning of the manipulation, the composition is dark in color with a muddy base. Such a process is quite normal. Do not rush to get rid of lush foam in the process of languishing the product. The hat should settle a little.
To remove the foam, resort to a classic slotted spoon. After this, the oil should be languished at the rate of 1 hour per 1 kg. product. It is strictly forbidden to stir the composition with any devices.
The readiness of ghee can be determined by the pleasant nutty aroma and transparency of the mixture. For a cleaner composition, pour the mass into glass jars through a gauze or cloth filter. Do not store oil in plastic.

Ghee is of great benefit to the human body. If you have no contraindications to the use of the product, the composition will help you improve overall health, and suppress the presence of possible ailments.

The benefits of ghee have been known to people for thousands of years.

The first documented evidence of the use of this product is dated 2000 BC.

Mankind has used and uses ghee not only as a food product, but also for ritual practices, as well as in Ayurvedic medicine, whose experts believe that this product cleanses both mentally and physically.

What is ghee butter?

Ghee is called creamy, which was cleaned of impurities, excess water, sugars and protein by slow boiling. The elimination of impurities makes the product more resistant to subsequent exposure to high temperatures, without depriving it of any useful properties.

Which oil is more useful: butter or ghee?

Ghee.

And that's why.

There are no dairy components. Some people suffer such that they cannot eat even butter. Ghee is completely devoid of both lactose and casein. Therefore, it is allowed to all.
A lot of short fatty acids. Ghee is much more than butter, short-chain fatty acids, especially. This compound has anti-inflammatory activity and helps prevent cancer, normalizes digestion and maintains the correct level of sugar in the blood, promotes weight loss and improves the cardiovascular system.
Higher smoke point. For butter, this figure is approximately 176 degrees Celsius, for ghee - 232. Why is it so important? Because the higher the smoke point of oil, the more it is suitable for cooking, since it does not oxidize for a long time when heated. Namely, oxidized fats have the most powerful negative effect on the body.
A lot of fat soluble vitamins. There is much more vitamins in ghee than in butter, such as A, D, E. Vitamin A absorption is often impaired in people, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn’s disease, and many pancreatic pathologies. Vitamin D is formed in the sunlight. But this light is rare in our country. And even in the summer it is not accessible to everyone, since it is quite difficult to sunbathe in a metropolis. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant, a lot of which virtually no one has. In addition, this compound is necessary to maintain the correct hormonal levels and reduce "bad" cholesterol.
Pronounced taste. The aroma and taste of ghee is stronger than that of butter. And therefore, much less is required for cooking this product.

Does ghee oil help you lose weight?

Yes. And in several ways at once.

Medium and short chain fatty acids, which are very numerous in this product,. And at the same time, they prevent the formation of new body fat.
In Ayurvedic practice, ghee is one of the central elements of a general healing and weight normalization diet. It is believed that it improves the functioning of the gallbladder, which immediately positively affects the entire digestive system. And the proper functioning of the gastrointestinal tract is one of the necessary conditions for sustainable weight loss.
The anti-inflammatory activity of short fatty acids helps them eliminate chronic sluggish inflammation in the body, which is the trigger for a large number of diseases, including for gaining excess weight.
Butyric acid and other short chain fatty acids maintain proper blood sugar levels. This is important not only for patients with type 2 diabetes, but also for people who are overweight. Since it is usually formed on the background of insulin resistance, it is impossible to get rid of it without lowering the level of glucose in the blood.

Ghee and linoleic acid

Another positive property of ghee is the theoretical presence in it, which helps to lose weight, reduces inflammation, normalizes blood pressure and has other useful properties.

Why is the presence of this compound in ghee called “theoretical”? Yes, because linoleic acid is available only in that oil, which is obtained from the milk of cows grown on free pasture on the grass, and not fed with soy and fish flour.

Which ghee to use: purchased or home-made?

Only made by yourself at home. On the shelves of stores under the guise of a melted pastel very often lie trans fats.

Is there any harm?

No. If you use the product in reasonable quantities.

The negative effect of ghee, which he has been credited with for many years - an increase in cholesterol, is not confirmed by any modern studies.

Moreover, according to fresh scientific data, against the background of a regular likening of ghee oil, the level of low density lipoproteins (“bad” cholesterol) and triglycerides decreases. Moreover, positive results are noticeable, both in blood serum and in the liver.
