Six things worth knowing before you spend ₹1,500 on a jar of fat. Written to be useful whether or not you buy from us.
What A2, Gir and bilona actually mean, three checks you can run in your own kitchen, and how to compare price per litre rather than per jar.
The difference is one amino acid. What that does and does not mean, which claims have evidence behind them, and which are marketing.
Which jar size to buy, worked out from how much ghee real households get through — not from what we would like to sell you.
Why texture changes with the weather, why that is a good sign, and the three signs that mean a jar has genuinely turned.
The legal standard for ghee in India, in plain words: the numbers a batch must meet, and which label claims are regulated and which are not.
What each test on a ghee analysis certificate means, what a passing number looks like, and the one detail that makes a report worth anything.
Most of what is published about ghee in India is written to sell ghee, which makes it very hard to use when you are deciding what to buy. These pages try to be the other thing: the facts a careful buyer would want, including the ones that are awkward for us.
So you will find us saying that the A2 argument is weaker for ghee than for milk, that our biggest jar is not our best value per litre, that meeting the FSSAI standard is a floor rather than an achievement, and that most of the words on a ghee label — ours included — mean nothing in law.
We would rather you bought the right size from us once than the wrong size twice. And we would rather you checked our lab reports than believed them.
