Traditional Ghee
Traditional ghee is a creamy spread produced by boiling butter until the liquids and solids have separated. The liquid is then separated from the solid and packaged as ghee.
Ingredients
Vegetable ghee is a vegetarian alternative to this product. It is made up almost entirely of hardened vegetable oil and is free from any milk products.
Uses
It is ideal for various forms of cooking, such as baking, sauteing and deep frying. It is also used as a spread on bread or vegetables.
Texture and Appearance
Both traditional ghee and vegetable ghee have a texture and appearance similar to lard. However, neither of these items contains animal fat.
Flavor
Despite its resemblance to lard, vegetable ghee is cholesterol-free. It has a buttery, nutty taste that is somewhat milder than that of traditional ghee.
