Secret Garden Ghee

Description:

Secret Garden is our traditional ghee infused with all organic Rosemary, Sage, Thyme, Garlic, Onion, Lavender, Celtic Sea Salt and a sprinkle of Ceylon cinnamon. Topped with lavender flowers.

This blend is perfect for cooking, sautéing or roasting practically anything. Many of the classic savory herbs used in cooking are blended right into the ghee, making it simple to get a full flavored dish without having to add so many ingredients. Just a spoonful to a hot skillet or rubbed over roasted meats, veggies, mushrooms will fill your kitchen with culinary bliss.

Easy to use and packed with flavor, we’ve enjoyed using Secret Garden by:

• Coating potatoes and roasting them in the oven (think hasselback herb coated sweet potatoes)

• Slather it on meat for the perfect sear - ghee has a smoke point of 450 degrees and won’t burn like most other oils during the searing process.

• Try frying eggs in it, spread it on toast, bagels or really anything that needs a spoonful of savory.

What is ghee?

Ghee is a traditional and sacred food and a staple of Ayurvedic medicine, an ancient tradition of medicine which prioritizes the healing powers of food. . It is essentially pure caramelized butter oil.

What are the health benefits of ghee?

Ghee made from cultured butter from the milk of grass-fed cows is exceptionally healthy! It is loaded with vitamins A, D, E, and K. It is also rich in butyric acid helpful for supporting healthy gut microbiomes & balanced gastrointestinal system. Ghee made from organic butter sourced from pasture-raised cows is also a natural source of conjugated linolenic acid (CLA), which is indicated to slow the progression of heart disease and some types of cancer. Ghee sourced from pastured cows additionally contains Omega 3 and Omega 9 fatty acids, which most people are generally deficient in. These fatty acids have been indicated as crucial to proper hydration, literally helping our cells to retain more water. Ghee is remarkably bioavailable, long prized for increasing nutrient absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and minerals from the foods and herbs with which it is paired. Actually able to pass through the lipid membranes of our cells, the nutrients that accompany foods and herbs cooked in, paired with, or infused into ghee can penetrate deeply into our bodies. For this reason, ghee has a long history of being used as a carrier oil (menstruum) for medicinal, herbal preparations. 

How long will Goddess Ghee remain shelf stable?

Once opened, if ghee is sealed well and doesn't acquire moisture it will keep without refrigeration for 3 months. If it's kept sealed and refrigerated it will keep for up to a year. We recommend storing in cool, dark, & dry place in the kitchen- like a pantry or shelf and always use a clean, dry utensil.
