Desi ghee has been a favourite in most Indian households. It is an ancient remedy for cold, cough and soft skin, but in the last few years the credibility of saturated fats like desi ghee has been debatable. Some believe that saturated fats are the bad fats but a growing body of research and most health experts agree that naturally occurring saturated fats such as desi ghee are actually good for your health.

Desi Cow Ghee is known as the golden medicine of Ayurveda. It is sometimes referred to as “clarified butter”, as all of the milk solids have been removed from it. After this process, you are left with a nutritious, easy to digest (lactose and casein free), healing oil that can be used as food or as medicine. Bilona is form the method used to make curd from whole milk. Then churn it to separate makhan from it and then boil it to get Ghee. This is called whole milk ghee and it is the costliest but has all medicinal properties of Desi cow’s milk. To manufacture 1 kg of such ghee, it takes approximate 35 liters of Desi cow milk.

To make traditional Ghee, the curd is churned in a traditional Indian vessel called Bilona. This vessel is made out of wood. Bilona Hand Churned Ghee is where the curd is churned manually with hands using the Bilona. In other cases, the Bilona is attached to a motor which then churns the curd.

In any farm, at a time only 30% cows are in a milking state. So in non milking state, cows are left to relax and graze. They are neither injected with any hormones nor are subjected to any inhuman activity. They are encouraged to live a regular life. Every morning cows graze freely and openly in 20 acres grass fields. Certain grass are strategically planted to to provide nutrition to the cows ultimately improving the quality of milk. Even the fodder given to the cows is organic certified. Once cow stops giving milk permanently, it spends the rest of its life in the gaushala. Cows are not sent to slaughter house. When bulls are born on the farm, they are given for free to farmers with a written agreement which states that the farmer will not resell the bull to anyone else. If under any circumstances the farmer is not able to keep the bull then he passes on to another farmer in need free of cost.

Our body needs some fats to assist the brain, nerves and skin health. These healthy fats are also vital for building cell membranes and strengthening them. If the ghee has any additives or adulteration like hydrogenated oils, trans-fats or oxidized cholesterol, it won’t benefit your body the way pure desi cow ghee would.
