randjean Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Is grass fed butter off limits? My husband & I cook with butter once in a while, especially when we cook up some fresh haddock in the pan. It makes it taste so good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted April 8, 2016 Moderators Share Posted April 8, 2016 You can only have butter if you clarify it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted April 8, 2016 Moderators Share Posted April 8, 2016 Maybe you need to review the rules again. Reading them through 4 or 5 times typically answers 80 percent of all questions. http://whole30.com/whole30-program-rules/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randjean Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 I'm gonna make some clarified butter this weekend. Looks very easy to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 For anyone who doesn't want to make their own, it's also something you can buy (usually sold as ghee). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiGill Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 May seem like a silly question as I know sugar is not compliant. I've done research and check the box out really good but I cannot find an answer. We really love Land O Lakes butter and I've clarified some as I've not started W30 (until May 1) just yet. In the ingredients it only lists.... sweet cream - made with pasturized milk. It's the word 'sweet' that alarms me. Wondering though if it's the 'milk' in it that makes up the name sweet cream? If so it's surely taken out when I skim the milk off the top of the clarified butter. I just want to be sure we're not ingesting sugar. Any feedback is appreciated.

Karen_Suep Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 If sugar is added to the butter, it's listed in the ingredients. Sometimes cow milk (and the cream) have a little sweetness to it already, no sugar added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaGirl Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Cream skimmed from milk may be called "sweet cream" to distinguish it from whey cream skimmed from whey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nannyogg Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 ...or sweet cream as against sour cream? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E_m1128 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 So, can someone explain clarified butter is to me? What about I can't believe it's not butter? I looked at the ingredients and none were on the no list, I'm just wondering if it has all compliant ingredients, is it clarified? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe it's not butter is NOT clarified. Personally I wouldn't touch the stuff,compliant or not. Ghee/clarified butter,however, barely lasts a week in our house.ETA: Google shows the spread for I can't believe it's not butter has soy and therefore is NOT compliant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted May 23, 2016 Moderators Share Posted May 23, 2016 I would encourage you to re-read the rules of the program because soy (which appears twice in this product) is a definite no and I"m concerned that you say you read the ingredients and didn't see anything on the 'no' list. The rules are linked in my signature below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have read the rules 4-5 times, I'm aware soy is not allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crastney Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 it contains Soybean Oil, and Lecithin (soy) - but apart from the non compliant ingredients it also contains palm kernal and palm oil, which I personally try to avoid if I can, as most of it is not sustainably grown, and is a large contributor to deforestation in places like Indonesia, Borneo, etc, and a major factor for habitat loss for Orangutans. most butter like spreads (Flora, Olivio, etc) are not compliant, for one reason or another. don't try to find something that doesn't exist - just make clarified butter or buy ghee.

Azcowgirl12 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Can I use Kerrygold butter and clarify it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azcowgirl12 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Nevermind; after reading this through this forum, it appears that I can use Kerrygold butter as long as I clarify it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
