Is Ghee Alpha-Gal Friendly?

Avoid

Ghee, or clarified butter, is made from milk (dairy) and thus contains alpha-gal.

Ghee and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet

Ghee is a form of clarified butter that is made by simmering butter until the water evaporates and the milk solids separate and are removed. This process results in a pure butterfat that is rich, aromatic, and has a high smoke point, making it ideal for cooking at high temperatures. Ghee is often used in South Asian cooking and traditional Ayurvedic practices.
