Ghee and butter both come from milk, but they are made in different ways. Ghee is made by heating butter until the water evaporates and the milk solids separate. Once removed, what remains is a pure, golden fat with a richer flavor and a higher smoke point than butter, making it ideal for high-heat cooking. While ghee and butter share similar nutrients, ghee is a better choice for those with lactose intolerance. It can last for months at room temperature without spoiling.
