Well I have seen the trend in Pakistan change a lot.
I have seen people eating oily food,cooking oil is fatening and it isnt good for ones health,somehow people have stopped using desi-ghee like our elders used to do. It has many benefits so i think one should use it instead of using processed cooking oil....
Nutritional benefits of Ghee
It is recommended to have 4 teaspoons of fat per day, hence add a teaspoon of ghee in the cooking. Remember regular exercise and the right fats give better health and a stronger heart. Now say yes to desi ghee…..

Nutritional benefits of Ghee
- Ghee is said to be made of saturated fatty acids but of short chain fatty acids. This makes them easy to digest unlike the saturated fats found in animal meats which are difficult to digest.
- It contains fat soluble vitamins such as A, D and E and hence can benefit vegetarians.
- Ghee is said to be great for the lactose intolerant as the lactose sugar is broken down on clarification. Hence they can benefit the vitamins from it sans lactose.
- Due to its fat content, it also absorbs the vitamins from the food it is added to, hence making the vitamins available to the body.
- Its smoke point is high, hence can be used for cooking, But I still discourage using it for deep frying.
- For infants and toddlers where they are in the phase of brain growth, ghee is the best fat to be added in their diet and is said to develop memory.
