Grass fed ghee and cooking oil: what makes ghee is a better option in cooking

Grass fed ghee and cooking oils are both pantry staples and generally consumers use both of them in their cooking process. While in recent past, ghee was considered unhealthy for its saturated fat content, presently, modern dieticians are preferring grass fed cow ghee over cooking oils for multiple reasons.

Some of the prime reasons for preferring ghee as a healthy cooking oil are:

Ghee offers good fats and that helps in maintaining good heart health.
Ghee is a natural lubricator and laxative, and these properties are not available in any cooking oil.
Grass fed ghee due to its MCTs and CLA is helpful for weight loss when coupled with exercise, good diet, and healthy lifestyle.
If consumed in moderation and coupled with active life style, ghee is a feel-good pantry staple and can offer great source of energy.
Due to the presence of CLA, ghee offers natural prevention from carcinogenic diseases.
Grass fed ghee boosts digestion and it can detoxify digestive system if taken in morning in empty stomach with lukewarm water: no such quality of cooking oil is detected yet.
Grass fed contains umpteen amount of butyric acid that is the reason ghee acts as a gut friendly ingredient. Cooking oil lacks this quality of gut friendliness completely.
Regular but moderate consumption of organic grass fed can boost immunity, which is a unique feature of grass fed cow ghee.
Ghee helps in boosting brain health and improves concentration, memory power, and cognitive ability, according to Ayurveda: cooking oils do not offer these health benefits.
