Is Ghee Lactose-Free? What You Need to Know
If you're lactose intolerant or trying to reduce dairy, you may be wondering whether ghee is a better choice than butter.
The answer is that ghee is naturally very low in lactose because most of the milk solids are removed during the traditional clarification process.
Here's what you should know.
What Is Lactose?
Lactose is the natural sugar found in milk and many dairy products.
Some people produce less of the enzyme needed to digest lactose, which may lead to digestive discomfort after consuming dairy products.
Butter contains milk solids that naturally contain lactose.
How Ghee Is Made
Ghee is created by slowly simmering butter until the water evaporates and most of the milk solids are removed.
What remains is rich, golden butterfat with its signature aroma and flavor.
At Golden Pure Ghee, every batch is traditionally slow-cooked in small batches using premium grass-fed butter to develop exceptional flavor and quality.
Is Ghee Better for People with Lactose Intolerance?
Because most of the lactose is removed during the clarification process, many people with lactose intolerance find ghee easier to enjoy than regular butter.
However, everyone's tolerance is different.
If you have a dairy allergy or a medical condition related to dairy, consult your healthcare provider before consuming ghee.
