Why should I use ghee instead of butter?

4th & Heart ghee can do all the things butter can do—like make toast taste awesome and trick your kids into eating broccoli. But it can also do things butter can’t do. Like maintain its molecular integrity at extremely high temperatures and be digested by lactose intolerant people. Oh, and it also supports weight loss, improves digestion, and reduces inflammation. No big deal. Actually, this IS a big deal. Why don’t more people know about this delicious, amazing superfood? Once you learn what it is and figure out where it is in the store (Pro Tip: it’s by the cooking oils and you can find the store closest to you here), there is no reason NOT to upgrade. Put simply, 4th & Heart ghee is like butter, but better.

Even more, ghee is perfect for baking! Never scramble to get butter to room temperature quickly for baking again, simply keep a jar of our shelf-stable, spreadable Original Recipe Ghee in your pantry for when you get a hankering for homemade treats! Plus, anything you bake with ghee will be naturally lactose-free and easy to digest. Ghee also makes your meals richer tasting and baked goods more moist, because it has more butter and less water than butter itself. It’s buttery-er.
