The difference between butter and ghee is an ongoing battle with people trying to figure out which one is healthier.

The difference between butter and ghee is one of the vital dietary concerns. While most are not unknown of butter, many people are unaware of the ghee benefits. But before knowing the difference between these two kinds of butter, let’s first define ghee and why it is clarified butter. 

Ghee is called clarified butter as it is cooked by melting milkfat. In this process, the milk solids and protein get removed. The making process of ghee creates the main difference between butter and ghee. Ghee does not contain milk solids, while butter does. Butter contains lactose and casein, but ghee is more clarified and does not contain lactose or casein. 

 Ghee is dairy rick-free dairy, and lactose-intolerant people can consume it without any risk of good sensitivity. Both ghee and butter are accepted cooking oils. But here also, a difference between butter and ghee exists. Ghee offers a higher smoke point than butter. 

Difference Between Ghee and Butter: smoking point

Ghee is more stable than butter against high temperatures. The smoke point of ghee is 485 degrees Fahrenheit, while butter offers 302-350 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter gets burned easier and may add a smoky flavor to your food.

Acrylamide, a toxin, is produced less by oils with a higher smoke point. It is a chemical compound made when starchy food is prepared at a very high temperature. It is assumed that it leads to the formation of harmful free radicals in the body. Ghee offers a higher smoke point than butter; hence, ghee is less prone to produce free radicals than butter.

ghee vs butter

Difference between butter and ghee: Ghee offers butyrate benefits.

Grass-fed ghee offers butyrate support as it contains butyric acid. Butyric acid provides dietary support for reducing inflammation, boosting the digestive system, and maintaining a healthy colon. Butter has no such colon cleaning power or inflammation healing power.

Difference between ghee and butter: storage friendliness

Ghee is more storage-friendly, and you can store it at room temperature. But you cannot keep the butter. The difference between ghee is butter is explained here.

Ghee = butterfat only, whereas

 butter = water (moisture)+ butterfat + milk solids. 

The water content in butter makes it perishable. You cannot store butter at room temperature. 

 The difference between butter and ghee is quite easy to understand. However, whereas dairy offers almost the same quantity of calories, contains almost the same quantity of saturated fats, and are prepared from milk fat, ghee is a better butter for all its benefits.  

The above-narrated ghee benefits are available from good quality ghee clarified butter only, produced from a reliable place with standard food safety and deep dairy expertise. Milkio grass-fed Ghee of New Zealand is an example of premium grass-fed ghee.

🥛✨ Every morning is a celebration of nourishment and tradition — powered by dairy! ✨🥛

This World Milk Day, we asked our #Milkio community:

“How do you start your day with Butter Ghee or dairy?”

From buttery breakfasts to energizing coffee rituals, here’s how some of our team and customers embrace the goodness of #Milkio #ButterGhee every morning:

Youssef: “My day begins with a bold black coffee blended with cow ghee — it’s smooth, satisfying, and fuels me with lasting energy.”

Zahra: “Morning is all about preparing wholesome meals for my children and family. Whether it’s bread and butter, sautéed vegetables, or baked delights — Butter Ghee is always in my kitchen.”

Rania: “Simple and soulful — my go-to breakfast is a slice of warm bread with a generous layer of butter. It never fails to comfort.”

Mei-Ling: “I kick-start my day with a long black coffee and a spoonful of Butter Ghee. By 9 a.m., I’m already on my second cup — focused, energized, and ready to take on the day.”

From your first sip to your family’s breakfast plate, dairy — especially #ghee — brings richness, tradition, and vitality to every morning.
