Ghee for Diet

Ghee, a saturated fat, for diet? Really? NO!!! screeching some people. Well, in my previous blog (Synthethic Fats and Omega Acid Fats), I have clearly explained about the fats which is good for our health. You may jump to the blog to get more details technically about it. To sum up, only Polyunsaturated fats (PUFA) are the one contributes to multiple disease related to cardiovascular. Ghee contains mono-unsaturated fats along with saturated fat. Consuming it right can make miracles in people’s life! Did you know ghee could even aid for weight loss? It is technically and theoretically proven by researches.

 

The new trend of diet, Ketogenic diet where they minimize the intake of carbohydrates and consuming right amount of fat. The intake reduction of carbs puts the body into a metabolic state called ketosis. During the process the body becomes incredibly efficient at burning fat for energy. It also turns fat into ketones in the liver, which can supply energy for the brain. Emphasizing saturated fats in Keto diet make wonders in losing weight and maintaining the body in right manner.

 

Hence it is proven that supplying the right amount of fat for our body acts as a fuel to our internal combustion system. 2 to 3 tablespoons of saturated fat from ghee in your diet is enough for the morning pumps to get your day starting. There are of course many diets emphasizing saturated fats in their meals like Paleolithic, AIP and Whole30 diet. Explore some of the diets to maintain a good balanced lifestyle and a healthy living.

Ghee Comes with Responsibility, Love and Passion

Good ghee starts from the very initial stage, starting from the nature itself. Of course, the cows are the real contributors of raw milk to produce the highest end product which is ghee. The cows have to be fed in right manner, be in their comfort zone and the caretakers have to take care of them to make sure they are happy. These are the main criteria to get the access to good quality raw milk. The raw milk is further converted to yogurt, churned to butter and simmered them to extract the “Liquid Gold” out of milk.

 

Nutriche’ team has the expertise to ensure the contract farmers around are practicing the right Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) in the farm. The team has also provided complete guidance on managing the flows of operation in farm such as work flow, animal flow, feed flow, milk flow, waste flow and wind flow. The team and farmers clearly understand that ensuring a good environment in farm is as important as the food itself. The quality of the environment guarantees the food being produced.

 

The cows are fed with correct ratio of grass, grains and supplements to maintain their milk production, body score and health maintenance. The cows are well served and taken care of as they are the real bosses of the whole project. When the weather is right, we allow our ladies to graze and play around in pasture. Happy cows produce much richer milk. The fat content of milk gradually increases when they are happy.

 

A good food starts from a farm. The whole team of Nutriche’ and farmers bond are like a family. We enjoy what we doing, we are passionate in what we are doing. We guide each other in producing good food for our future generation. From bottom of our heart, we plead to spread awareness on food security so that our whole community can benefit it. It is really uncertain of food security as the world is becoming more materialistic. Spreading awareness on food security is the best treasure we can pass down to our upcoming generation.

Texture of Ghee

After the ghee has been done, we allow it to settle down for up to 12 hours in a controlled temperature to allow the fat molecules to granulate and crystalize in the Nutriche’ ghee.  We will get a grainy texture which increases the appetite and presentation of the ghee. It can be spreaded in toast or consume it directly (with conditions for medicinal value).

This pure ghee is made in Malaysia, a Southeast tropical Asian country, where the temperature is 20°C -30°C by average per year. Depending on the weather and temperature of the surrounding, the ghee adopts itself. If the temperature is high, the ghee will become in oil form. If it is in ideal temperature and cooling down gradually, the ghee will be grainy and shiny. If the temperature is cool, the ghee will solidify and give a creamy texture.

The texture might also differ due to the logistics when the ghee is travelling from one place to another. The ghee might have to travel in warm condition for long hours and this will eventually effect the form of ghee. The texture will eventually liquify and turn into oil form.

Does the quality changes depending on the texture? Definitely NO. The nutritional values and the medicinal properties will never change. The ghee is always as “Nutrient Rich” as it is despite the form and texture of the ghee. The taste, quality and shelf life is guaranteed.

Benefits of Ghee

Now, let’s get to know about fats and their role in diet plans. “FATS!!! NO WAY!!! I am never consuming fats on my diet! “, the most frequent phrase I hear. It is just a myth that fats cannot be consumed on a specific diet, the truth is you should consume fats, just you have to be aware of what type and the quantity of fats are you consuming during your diet.

 

To understand the fatty acid composition in ghee, a study was performed. It has been found that a good source of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is ghee. The most common omega 3 fatty acid is DHA. Omega 3 is the important fat we need to eat from our diet as it can not be produced by our body. Some strong sources of omega-3 fatty acids are walnuts, fish oil and flaxseeds. The risk of such disorders such as cancer , heart attack, insulin resistance, arthritis and ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) may be minimised by DHA.

 

Together with vitamins A, D , E and K, butyric acid in ghee helps increase immunity, promotes gut health, helps to keep your hair healthy, strengthens your bones and improves eye health. Ghee makes our system stronger and removes toxins. In addition, ghee enhances digestion, boosts immunity, balances weight, encourages healthy pregnancy, protects arteries.

 

It can be great for weight loss, since ghee is rich in omega 3 fats (DHA) and omega 6 (CLA). Omega 6 fats have been shown to increase the mass of the lean body while decreasing fat mass. Ghee helps to mobilise fat cells to be burned for energy. Ghee is packed with essential amino acids that can reduce the size of fat cells, experts have also found. It can be beneficial to add ghee if your body quickly accumulates fat. Omega 3 fatty acid in ghee can also help you lose inches and eventually help you shed those extra kilos.

 

One-two small spoons of ghee is the advisable amount daily. It is advised to have ghee if you are trying to lose weight mainly because it’s rich in amino acids and helps to shrink the size of fat cells, says Dr Mansi Chatrath, Nutritionist.

What is Ghee?

Ghee which was found back in 1500-500 BCE in India. Ghee is clarified butter, or also known as butter which has been simmered and strained to remove all water. Clarified butter has uncooked milk solids, yielding a product with a very clean, sweet flavor. In comparison, ghee is cooked over low heat until the milk solids have a chance to start to brown lightly, creating a slightly nutty, caramelized vibe. It is shelf-stable, with a high smoke point and deeply nutty flavor.

 

Ghee has played a key role in Ayurveda for centuries, where it’s prized for its anti-inflammatory, digestive, and therapeutic properties. Ghee also has really been exposed to modern diets because of their exceptional nutritional value such as Ketogenic, Paleolithic and AIP diet. Ghee was also claimed to be as superfood where it get along with any meals and directly increase the nutritional value of them. Of course, there’s always strict instructions to follow. Ghee was also well known as ‘Liquid Gold’, and ‘Sacred Fat’. Continue to read on the next blogs, to see what miracles can the ghee contribute to our health and body.
