Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Sat Nam! Ghee needs no refrigeration if properly prepared as the liquid is "cooked" out of the butter. I have noticed many recipes that suggest skimming the froth off the top. I was taught by Dr. Frawley that the foam on top contains the medicinal properties and is not to be removed. Make sure you use a clean, dry, instrument to remove the ghee for your cooking or injesting. I have Ghee that is 8 years old that I am letting "age". In the ancient texts 100 year old Ghee is said to cure any illness! It does not need to be frozen or refrigerated. It is the vehicle of choice for Ayurvedic herbs. Mixing it with honey and ginger taking doses for 10 days in a row is a wonderful treatment and cleanse. In Ayurveda, ghee enhances Ojas, increases Agni, gives sustenance to Tejas, promotes bhutagni without conjesting the liver, promotes intelligence and perception. It is a wonderful brain and nerve tonic, greatly helping many Vata deranged conditions. It is used as a tonic for the eyes, helping improve vision and can be applied to the eyelids and cornors of the eye for this reason. It is considered a premier rasayana, a food that helps maintain good health, vitality and longevity. Ghee is excellent for balancing Vata and Pitta doshas. It helps enhance digestion without irritating the stomach and helps balance stomach acid. Ghee is a yogavahi, it helps carry the healing benefit of herbs, spices and other foods to the cells and tissues of the body. The traditional texts also designate ghee a medhya rasayana, good for mental alertness and memory. Ghee is also helpful in counteracting dry skin from the inside out. So eat your Ghee! Blessings in health! Guru Ravi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Guru Ravi, Wow! I think I'll be "playing" with this idea of "aging" my ghee, assuming I feel that I have properly cooked out the liquids and removed any solids and anything oxidized. BTW, about a year ago I had a sore throat. Some part of my mind said to heat up some ghee (about a tablespoon) in a small sauce pan and then add minced garlic (about three cloves) to heat for a few seconds and then tilt the pan a little so that the ghee was deep and let it sit for 3 minutes, or so. Long enough for the ghee to draw out the garlic's essence. I then put all of this on a piece of toast. My sore throat was gone in about an hour. (some additional input from Gurucharan Singh) "The key to ghee is proportion. Small amounts in combo. Also key is that the fire breaks length of bonds in the fats so oxidation processes are lowered, hence small amounts do not increase heart or inflammatory processes and may even help" On 4/11/06, rfarley51 <rfarley51 > wrote: > > Sat Nam! > Ghee needs no refrigeration if properly prepared as the liquid is "cooked" > > out of the butter.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Sat Nam Everyone, I saw a lot of queries regarding the refrigeration of ghee. Just wanted to let you know that it does not require refrigeration at all. I don't know the reason for it but its just never refrigertated. In my knowldege it can go up to a year without getting spolit. But do avoid putting wet spoons or other stuff in it. Thanks Preeti New Messenger with Voice.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 my two cents: i believe ghee does not have to be refrigerated because the milk solids have been removed (those are the bits that fall to the bottom when the butter is heated). i've even heard that some kosher jews consider ghee no longer a dairy product, and it can therefore be used with meat, but i assume there is some debate on that. :-) happy passover! and happy easter, too! seattle sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Sat Nam, Gururattan,Guru Ravi,Dharma,Preet,Stacee, thank you for your input. I guess I should start looking for some recipe on line. Guru Ravi, you mentioned mixing ghee with honey and ginger,I would like to know the specific amount of ghee and honey and ginger to use in this recipe? What are the doses? This sounds really interesting, I could use a good cleansing. Trish, there is a recipe for ghee in the archives, if you can't find it, I'll send you the recipe. From my own experience, it is a good idea to start with a small amount first, maybe one or two pounds. Again thank you everyone for response.
