About Grass Fed Ghee
For thousands of years, ghee (clarified butter from grass fed cows) has been treasured across ancient Ayurvedic, South Asian and Middle Eastern traditions for its rich flavour, incredible cooking properties and deep nourishment. But here's why we love Wholesome Bones Grass Fed Ghee:
1. Essential for building your gut lining
Ghee is one of the richest food sources of butyrate — a short-chain fatty acid that directly feeds and repairs the cells lining your gut wall. A healthy gut lining is your first line of defence against leaky gut, where harmful substances pass from the intestines into the bloodstream. Grass fed ghee delivers butyrate in a highly bioavailable form, ready to go straight to work. You can read more about this here.
2. Ghee has one of the highest smoke points
Pure grass fed ghee has one of the highest smoke points of any cooking fat — around 250°C. Because the milk solids and water have been removed, there's nothing left to burn. When an oil smokes it's burning, and burning fats taste bitter and release harmful free radicals. With ghee, you can sear, roast and stir-fry at high heat without worry.
3. Ghee doesn't have the nasties
Unlike refined vegetable and seed oils that are heated, hydrogenated, bleached and deodorised before they reach your pantry, this ghee is made simply — gently simmering grass fed butter until the water evaporates and the milk solids are skimmed away, leaving behind pure golden fat. You can tell it's not burnt because it's golden, not brown. No bleaches, no fillers, no nasty industrial processing — just real food.
4. Ghee is healthy
Grass fed matters — cows eating their natural diet produce milk with a more balanced omega 3 to omega 6 ratio than conventional dairy. Ghee is also naturally free of the trans fats found in many vegetable and seed oils, which are linked to serious health problems worldwide. On top of that, it's a concentrated source of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K2, plus CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) — all things your body genuinely needs.
5. Ghee is delicious
Remember the smell of butter slowly browning in a pan? Ghee takes that a step further — rich, nutty, deeply savoury, with a warmth that makes everything it touches taste better. Toss vegetables in it before roasting, melt a spoonful over rice or scrambled eggs, or use it wherever you'd reach for butter. It's the flavour of real food, the way your great-grandmother would have cooked.
