Ghee Delivery or Pickup

Ghee is shelf-stable, meaning you can store it for long periods of time without having to refrigerate it. Just make sure you don't keep it near a stove where there is steam or keep it near anything else that might introduce bacteria.

Ghee has a higher smoke point than butter and other oils, such as peanut oil and olive oil. This makes it a perfect substitute for cooking oil, and it adds a wonderful nutty flavor to your dishes.

The clarifying process removes the lactose and casein, which means dairy-sensitive eaters can enjoy it. You can think of ghee as a replacement for butter, and it will add a bolder, richer flavor than butter will, whether you use it as a spread on toast or toss it with vegetables after steaming.

When cooking, you can substitute ghee any time you would use butter, coconut oil, or olive oil. Always melt it first if you're going to cook with it, and then add spices to create your favorite flavor. You can also mix it with your baking ingredients.

Since ghee has been simmered to remove the water, it cooks with minimal splatter and is hard to burn. This makes it ideal for high-heat cooking, such as sauteing and frying. Start the cooking process by melting a tablespoon of ghee in your pan, and then add your vegetables or protein once the ghee is hot. Add more as needed throughout the cooking process.

Ghee is a common ingredient in Indian dishes. Use it to toast spices instead of dry-roasting them. It will result in a richer version of a spice.

Add ghee to your favorite oatmeal or hot cereal recipes. It will not only add to the flavor but will also add some healthy fat to your breakfast. It's also delicious in many other breakfast dishes. Use ghee instead of butter when cooking eggs, or add it to your pancake batter instead of butter.

If you enjoy butter coffee, substitute ghee for the butter. Just drop a tablespoon of ghee into your favorite coffee drink for extra flavor and creaminess.

Ghee is also good at room temperature. Use it as a spread on muffins or crackers, or spread it on any type of toast or bagel.

Ghee is easy to store and has a longer shelf life than regular butter. If stored unopened in an airtight container, it can last up to nine months. Once it's opened, you can keep a jar of ghee on your counter for three months. After three months, if you haven't used it all, put it in the refrigerator. You can keep it in there for up to a year.

It takes a long time for ghee to go bad, but like other oils, it can go rancid if you hang onto it for too long. Rancid ghee has a distinct odor, it might turn white, and it will taste sour. If you see, smell, or taste any of these signs, throw the rest of the ghee away. If you notice mold on the surface, you should also throw it away. Also, if it just doesn't smell right, don't use it.
