If you follow the Keto diet, you should choose grass-fed ghee. Why?
Grass-fed ghee is known to be called the “better butter.” There are many reasons why:
- Ghee contains more fat per gram than butter: one TBSP contains 14g of fat compared to 1 12g of butter.
- Cow ghee has a better shelf life: Grass-fed is more shelf stable and can be preserved without refrigeration, saving you fridge space.
- Grass-fed Ghee is suitable for lactose intolerant: Ghee is clarified butter, so all the milk solids and proteins are filtered out. Many individuals with a lactose allergy can consume ghee fine but not butter.
- Grass-fed organic Ghee contains vitamins, butyrates, and CLAs, which are gut-friendly and good for your health.
- Ghee contains Medium Chain Triglycerides ¹ (MCTs), which are excellent in providing high energy levels and helping with cognitive functioning.
Cow ghee is better than butter if you want to consume the right kinds of fats and provide energy on a keto diet.
