I have been obsessing on cholesterol lately. Someone made a disparaging

comment

about ghee, and I have been scouring the net for info. Not to get into any

detail, but ghee ki jaya! Much of what you have heard about the fat in milk

is

false, and much of what is spoken about the diet heart connection is

misleading

and out dated.

 

Omega 3 is an essential fatty acid found in cold water fish and flax seed.

Highly recommended. Still learning about all this stuf. I will eventually

produce an article about ghee sometime this winter. Unfortunately distracting

things like making a living, staying warm, etc slow down progress.

It is a little boring but ultimately glorifies ghee and recommends butter over

margarine.

Adding linseed to bread. Suggested amount is 5 grams per kilogram of flour.

Soak the seed in water for one hour before using.

To replace eggs in cooking with linseeds. To 3 cups of water add 1 cup of

ground flax seed. Bring mixture to boil stirring constantly. Boil for 3

minutes, allow to cool. Store in fridge in a sealed jar. Where recipe calls

for beaten egg, substitue one tablespoon of the above mixture for each egg.

My wife did this as an egg replacer and it worked so well she was excitedly

calling several friends to tell them.

 

She made cupcakes with flax as egg replacer and apple sauce as butter replacer

and they were unexpectedly light.

 

C* chip cookies with flax as egg replacer and 1/2 apple sauce, 1/2 ghee as

butter substitute were delicious and soft.
