Unlike buffalo milk, cow's milk is easier to digest.
Ghee is packed with healthy saturated fats that help induce a feeling of fullness and reduce unnecessary food cravings.
Desi Cow Ghee is made with milk from indigenous breeds of cows found in India. It is prepared by simmering butter obtained from cow's milk and removing all the milk solids from the butter to obtain a delicious and aromatic natural fat called “desi cow ghee”. The process of making this ghee involves slow heating, which gives it a unique nutty aroma and golden color.
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in traditional and naturally prepared desi cow ghee. Known for its rich flavor and therapeutic properties, desi cow ghee has been an integral part of Indian cuisine and Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. Here are some of the health benefits of using desi ghee.
Good for digestive health
Unlike buffalo milk, cow's milk is easier to digest. Therefore, ghee made from cow's milk is easy to digest. Fermented ghee or cultured ghee i.e. ghee made using the Vedic bilona method (made from curd and two-way churning of curd) is the easiest to digest. This is due to the presence of lactic acid.
Healthy weight loss
Contrary to popular belief, desi ghee can help in weight loss when consumed in moderation. Ghee is packed with healthy saturated fats that help induce a feeling of fullness and reduce unnecessary food cravings.
Promotes brain function
According to Ayurveda, Vedic bilona ghee is considered a 'medhya rasayana'. Medhya Rasayana is a group of nootropic (i.e. cognition-enhancing) herbs that has multiple benefits and especially helps in improving mental alertness, cognition, memory, intelligence and even retention and acquisition power.
Good for skin and hair
Desi ghee and even medicinal ghee have been used to heal wounds and improve skin and hair health for centuries. Nutrient-packed ghee is loaded with antioxidants that scavenge free radicals from the body and help reduce oxidative stress. Oxidative stress in the skin plays an important role in aging and impacts collagen formation, lipid damage leading to acne, and even skin cell damage leading to skin cancer.
Improves the immune system
Ghee improves and boosts the immune system due to the presence of various nutrients in it. Grass fed ghee from desi cows generally offers a higher amount of nutrients including omega 3, conjugated linoleic acid, butyrate, vitamins A, D, E and K, minerals like natural iodine, phosphorus, potassium, etc. These nutrients help strengthen the body's defense mechanisms, protect against harmful pathogens, and promote the production of white blood cells that fight infection.
