Ghee or clarified butter has been considered a superfood since centuries and in modern times has made a comeback as a healthy food after its many benefits have been recognized by modern science. A powerhouse of healthy fats and vitamin A, D, E & K, Ghee can supply useful nutrients to the body, improve healthy cholesterol, and prevent many disorders. Ghee can provide 11% of the daily vitamin E intake and 100% of vitamin A. Besides it also has butyric acid, a crucial short-chain fatty acid. Among unsaturated fatty acids, oleic acid is also found apart from essential omega-3 α-linolenic acid, according to Journal of Food Composition and Analysis.
Over the year, ghee gained reputation of being high in fat content which can impact heart health. However, experts say, eating the superfood in moderation can in fact boost heart health.
