INCREDIBLY tasty and so fine and delicate a buttery flavor!!!

A friend introduced me to this product when I inquired how delicious her green beans and yams were at dinner and found I cannot be without a supply of this most DELICOUS clarified butter known as "ghee". It comes from grass-fed cows and is quite pure and just the most delightful, savory butter flavor you'll ever experience. I put it on my toast, popcorn (melted) and on all my veggies!!! Anywhere you want butter, use this ghee and just enjoy all it's buttery goodness. It's also so much healthier for you too than regular butter since the milk fat has been removed--which is what "clarified butter" is. I only wish Pure Indian Foods would sell their 14 oz glass jar size. They appear to be out of stock right now, but hopefully will restock soon. I always buy extra to keep on hand as I cannot be without this ghee.

Great Ghee

Wonderful in Bulletproof coffee. Blends well. I'm pretty sensitive to the casein in dairy and even some ghee makes me feel a little congested and feel the need to clear my throat. I notice no bad side effects from this one. It's a win in my book. I'll keep this one on hand for sure.

Sweet and Buttery Goodness

I use oil soluble nootropic supplements like Aniracetam and I was looking for essential oils to cook with that work to synergize and metabolize with these cognitive enhancers. I researched various items such as coconut oil, olive oil (which also work great) and then I found this sweet and buttery Ghee, I believe it is the Vedic medicinal Indian name for "clarified butter". I've steamed and sauteed raw kale and spinach with this, fried eggs, potatoes, and steak with it, and it is of course delicious and light-tasting, mild and buttery sweet goodness. I can't wait to try it with curry dishes. What sold it for me is that at body temperature it is liquified and there is scientific evidence to suggest that eating this right type of fat will improve triglyceride levels and MCT's (medium chain triglycerides), more likely to be used as energy than stored as fat.

Exceptionally GREAT GHEE!!!

I bought this Ghee once before, loved the flavor of it so very much, I am buying it again, from this seller, because of how fantastic the taste, the smell and the goodness of this particular Ghee is... I got it very quickly and it’s taste is beyond compare... I used to make Ghee myself, so I know what it should taste like, if you don’t burn it... and this particular Ghee is awesome! It has a nutty brown butter flavor to it and is a great taste in everything you want to cook it with! I highly recommend this Awesome Ghee! If you like Ghee, you are going to love this one!!! JAY

My favorite are eggs

I ordered this along with other healthy products and weaned the family off the readily available GMO products in the market. This product is advertised as having a "grainy texture" - It does not have a grainy texture, it is very smooth and does not have a grassy-flavor (if that is what they meant by it) - It just works well as a stir-fry oil and adds a creamy texture to chicken dishes and vegetables that have been cooked in it, or steamed first and sauteed afterwards. Pros: It is organic from grass-fed bovines. No cholesterol Rich in nutrients. Creamy texture. High heat tolerance. (I tried it at 400 and there was no loss of taste, texture, or burning) Making a blend of spices (your choice) and mixing it with the Ghee for an hour will result in a tasty basting sauce. My favorite are eggs: Scrambled, Omelettes, fried eggs .... absolutely delicious! smooth texture and truly better than using butter to make the omelettes. Less of a sputtering making fried eggs - probably due to the lack of water content on the Ghee - Just make sure that the eggs are at room temperature for better results when frying. Cons: The price is pretty steep for such a small jar. For those expecting a buttery taste on their popcorn, this is not going to fly. We used organic kernels (Found on Amazon) and a hot air popper. We also used the aforementioned kernels in a whirley-pop. We used the Ghee to mix in the popped hot air kernels ---- There is no buttery flavor. We used the Ghee in the Whirley Popper to pop the kernels --- There is no buttery flavor. Adding more of the Ghee to the popped kernels only resulted in moist and oily popcorn but did not enhance the flavor. Having stated the above, I will say that the next batch of Whirley popped corn will be made with Ghee because it can easily tolerate the high heat and nothing in the popper burned. For added flavor we will use spices or commercially available popcorn flavor shakers easily found at local grocery stores (Molly McButter and Kernel Season's are common) or will make our own from organic herbs and spices. Making your own Ghee from organic butter is simple enough, finding organic butter that won't break the bank is harder to find. In conclusion, we really like the smooth texture of this Ghee brand and its high-heat tolerance properties. Not having to over think the GMO, preservatives, and chemical compositions of the product is priceless. We will continue to use it in addition to Organic coconut oil (which works well with popcorn too since it too, has a high burn point), Organic Olive Oil, Organic Macademia Nut oil (also found easily on Amazon) and Avocado Oil (which is flavorless and lends itself well to seasonings that won't compete for attention) Every oil has its place in our pantry for variety in flavors and different types of meals.

A little goes a long way.

I went with the small jar at first because I wasn't sure how I'd like it, but I should have gone with a much larger container. This stuff is great for providing buttery goodness to high heat cooking. It comes as a nice, golden liquid and is shelf stable as is, however I did store mine in the fridge. Obviously it solidifies in the fridge, so I just scooped a small piece out each time for cooking. Note that a little goes a really long way here. For a large saute pan I only really needed MAYBE 1/2 teaspoon for stir fry or other similar dishes. It also works great for pan cooked restaurant style steaks instead of finishing it off with butter which can burn easily. Since Ghee is butter with the milk solids removed, it handles that nice high heat required for a good sear without having burnt milk solids. Being from grass fed cows you can definitely taste the difference in a good way. I will definitely buy a much larger container this time around.

As good as it gets.

I am severely lactose intolerant. One of those people who don't know whether they will need to put their face or bottom on the toilet after eating something with dairy in it. Okay, so I never imagined this would be as awesome as it is. 1) I read about how East Africans use this in their hair before shampooing and conditioning it, so I originally purchased it to use as a pre-oil for a deep conditioning treatment. It never made it to my hair, because.... 2) I decided to cook with it and I was amazed with the flavor! It tastes so good! 3) It browns your food with perfection. 4) This product isn't devoid of just lactose - read the ingredients and learn about other things that can make you sick from eating dairy products. ;)

This ghee gives food a richer flavor.

This ghee has a rich, nutty flavor and I mostly use it for cooking chicken and salmon. I still use grass fed butter in cooking but for the majority of frying, I use the Pure Indian Foods brand of Grass Fed Ghee. The ghee has a higher smoke point of 450 degree F where butter is 350. The reason that is important is because any fat you are cooking with that has gone over its smoke point has a higher risk of burning or starting a kitchen fire. Most high smoke level cooking fats are the genetically modified ones like soy oil & canola oils which are quite unhealthy. If you use ghee, then you have less chance of free radicals also as cooking in a fat above its smoke point will create them. Like grass fed butter, ghee is very healthy and good for you. For me, it is hard to tell the difference in taste of the butter vs ghee when it is used to cook a meal. I like that this brand is organic. I always have a few jars at my house at any one time. I do wish they would make larger containers of this as I would buy them.

Great quality ghee

This ghee is excellent quality. FYI, I used to buy it directly from the manufacturers for a cheaper price, but it is still pricey. Still, I think the product is worth it. The cows are 100% grass-fed and this is one of the few brands (I think there is one more) that can claim this. If you tell the company that you are part of a co-op they give you a slight discount. I didn't care for them discussing how the ghee is made on auspicious days, it was too superstitious for me. However, I looked past that and looked directly to the quality of the product. I've never had problems with this product and I've been using it for 10+ years. I also occasionally get some from a farmer, but his seems to still have some milk protein in it, because it causes problems for someone I know who is allergic to dairy. If you are allergic to dairy, you might be able to tolerate this. In general, the fats do not contain the allergen, which would be in the protein. The person I know who is allergic to dairy (a severe allergy) can tolerate this product with no problems at all. This allows us to bake and prepare butter-containing foods with no problems. I'm happy to have this product available.

Despite the whole review controversy, this is damn good stuff

This is a very flavorful ghee, unlike everything I've tried from both health and gourmet stores. I was shocked at just how good it was, because most ghees leave me quite disappointed. And being organic and grass fed means it's actually qualified to go into your mouth, unlike some other brands. There was no sticker on top asking for a review on mine, but I doubt I would've minded, anyway. It's not that these days to ask people to post a review if they're happy, or to ask what they can do better if the customer isn't. In fact, I think every app on both the iPad and Kindle Fire does that these days. So despite the company having some marketing chops, they actually have good product, too. I know... Shockingly rare these days. Usually people with good products couldn't market their way out of a paper hat. That's all too true. But this little company makes a darn fine product. In fact, if you know of anything comparable or better, I wouldn't mind hearing about in the comments. Except for Ancient Organics from Northern California, which I feel still may second best in some ways to Pure Indian Foods, I've always felt let down by ghee.
