About Butter, Clarified butter (ghee)
Ghee is butter that has been simmered until all the water evaporates and the milk solids are skimmed off, leaving behind nearly pure clarified butterfat. It is one of the highest-fat foods used in cooking, with no protein or carbohydrates to speak of. Because the milk solids are removed, ghee has a higher smoke point than regular butter and a rich, nutty flavor that works well for high-heat sauteing or roasting. People with dairy sensitivities sometimes tolerate it because the lactose and casein are largely eliminated.
