Hidden deep in rural India, surrounded by green pastures, traditional Bilona Ghee is made using a centuries-old Vedic process. Produced from the milk of free-grazing desi cows, this ghee undergoes a careful two-step process—curdling the milk, churning it into butter, and then cooking it on a low flame for hours to draw out pure golden ghee. The scent is rich, the texture grainy, and the flavor unbeatable.
The Science of the Supremacy
Bilona Ghee is believed to contain necessary fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), contributing to better cardiovascular health and weight control. The Journal of Dairy Science published one study demonstrating that traditionally, ghee produced has 25% more antioxidant effects than industrial-produced ghee.
Contrary to this, commercial ghee is industrially manufactured by directly heating the cream, depleting it of vital nutrients. Research shows that industrially processed ghee can have oxidized cholesterol, and this can raise LDL (bad cholesterol) levels.
Which One To Opt For?
Though commercial ghee is cheaper and easily found, Bilona Ghee provides unparalleled health benefits, improved digestion, and authentic taste. If wellness is your priority, transitioning to Bilona Ghee is a wise decision!
