Ghee
Pronounced: GEE
Nutrition
Butter that has been slowly melted, so that the milk solids separate from the fat is called "clarified butter." Ghee is clarified butter that has been simmered until all of the moisture has been removed and the butter takes on a browned, nutty flavor. Ghee has a much higher smoke point and longer life than clarified butter.
