Fats and Oils

Ghee is a type of clarified butter that originated in the Indian subcontinent, widely used for cooking, especially in Indian cuisines, and in Hindu religious rituals. It is typically made from cow or buffalo butter and is favored for its nutty flavor and high smoke point, which allows it to be heated to high temperatures without burning.
