As a South Asian my household is never without a jar of homemade ghee. But this is a good option for those not wanting to make it or simply just want try it for the first time. It can be used in place of oil or butter. I sometimes grease my pan with ghee instead of oils. This could be a healthy option for lactose intolerant people. Casein and lactose are removed during the making of ghee. Because of its process of creation, Ghee has lower levels of dairy proteins than regular butter, and is mostly lactose and casein free. Unless a person is very sensitive, consuming ghee is safe for those with dairy issues, unlike butter.
