Definitely still okay to eat but may be very salty/concentrated–best with unsalted but not going to hurt you to have salted this time.

I just made some ghee with the only organic butter brand I could find at my local store, and now discovered it had sea salt in it! Is it still OK to eat?

I love cooking the capers and mushrooms in ghee (recipe here) because it’s just so darn delicious, but the pesto is vegan and if you want the entire meal to […]

That article is very old, and the same site contains this info as well: http://www.drweil.com/diet-nutrition/nutrition/rethinking-saturated-fat/ (which directly contradicts the 1st one)
I just felt compelled to write here and maybe help put someone at ease, as I’m someone who tends to be very sensitive to food information and then easily feels unsafe with certain foods after reading some scary info about it. And it’s tough, because about EVERYTHING one can find polarizing information in different sources. The other thing I don’t feel is fully correct in the main article here is EVOO’s smoke point(it’s higher) and about it turning cancerogenic with normal cooking temperatures. I truly disagree with that. I’m from the mediterranean where people have cooked on EVOO for centuries without detriment to their health. What I’ve been able to find is that the oil actually loses some of its health-boosting properties while heated, but doesn’t gain destructive ones(unless smoking). My source:http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=george&dbid=56 (it also says there that coconut oil’s smoking point is LOWER than EVOO’S. Go figure. I bet few people know that. I know I didn’t.)
I hope this helps people. As someone who’s been scared and confused about cooking oils, I now cook on both ghee and olive oil interchangeably (almost) without fear 😉

I use it as part of mg weight loss and detoxification routine. It can also help you improve digestion. I wrote a blog post about its uses.

I just went over to my friend Heidi Fink’s page, (amazing Indian chef in Victoria) and I see from her photos that it does look creamy and grainy after it’s cooled. Sorry to bug you, I should have looked around first. I know you are a busy lady!

It was like a gift finding you. I look forward to each new post, your writing is so honest and true and your photos are inspiring. You are what I look for in a good friend. You challenge me to go deeper and to ask questions, and of course to experiment. I have made ghee a long time ago, and wanted to try it again. I made it last night and it looked just like yours in the photo, but now that it is cooled it is cloudy and grainy. Do you think that is because I didn’t cook it long enough? Or does it just do this. I have never made it in such large batches to keep. I used to make it in small batches for hollandaise, eek, back in the day working at fishing lodges. I will keep researching! Thank you for all of your dedication to all that you do here. Amazing!
