Is ghee better than seed oil?
- groos 2y agoGiven that humans have been eating ghee for thousands of years, and seed oils for mainly the last several decades, my bet is on ghee.
- timmytokyo 2y agoRight, because lifespans were notoriously longer 1000 years ago.
- groos 2y agoDying from heart disease is an entirely modern phenomenon.
- cantrecallmypwd 2y agoAppeal to tradition fallacy, also known as "smokers' logic".
- thrill 2y agoProbably. But, buyer beware. There have been studies in the US that it is not "uncommon" (whatever quantity that entails) to find ghee sold that contains as much as half vegetable oil, so it's just the usual unchecked food fraud that's rampant in this country. Ghee is trivial to make yourself from butter sourced from a local dairy or from a trusted source. I use it, along with Zero Acres oil made from fermented sugar cane, which is better if seeking a neutral flavor.
- cantrecallmypwd 2y agoIt's really easy to make ghee. Just get butter and make it. It will be more expensive and take time, but at least you'll know what's in it.
- cantrecallmypwd 2y agoIt's just filtered butter. With high temperature cooking yes, otherwise maybe.
