Ghee and the Vegetarian Diet
Ghee is a form of clarified butter that has been used for centuries in Indian cooking and Ayurvedic medicine. It is made by melting regular butter, which is typically made from cow's milk, and skimming off the milk solids, leaving behind a clear golden liquid. This process removes most of the lactose and casein, but not all, which is why ghee is still considered a dairy product.
