Question John – i first made ghee with organic butter. The consistency was amazingly smooth. Then, i used grass-fed and it is very grainy. What’s the deal?

Thank you for this tutorial! I was making cholar dal last night, and decided to make ghee to use in it, and lo and behold your beautiful blog came to the rescue. Worked perfectly. Thanks for your efforts here to share your cooking knowledge!

Kim, if the solids are very dark brown and the ghee smells burnt, you’re out of luck. You don’t want to eat it for the same reasons that you wouldn’t eat any burnt food. It’s lifeless, so to speak. Ghee is valued for its nutritive properties and consuming burnt ghee is a bit antithetical to that. You can, however, use it topically if you don’t mind the burnt smell, or instead of oil for lighting wicked lamps. When making ghee, you can tell that the ghee is ready when the solids are a golden brown, or even caramel. Hope this was helpful! Don’t give up

So what happens if the solids are very dark brown? If it is overcooked, will that affect the health benefits??

EXCELLENT post. Especially liked your detailed descriptions of colors/sound/timing…. better than a video I just watched. I am about to start the GAPS diet and homemade ghee is an “allowed” food; never had it before. Appears I’m in for a big treat. Thanks for sharing!
