faymao Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Hey all, I've seen two store-bought ghees. One was solid at room temperature, and the other was decidedly liquid. Is one better than the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I have not seen it liquid like that. Are you sure it wasn't butter oil? Did you read the ingredients? I would grab the solid version just because that is what I am used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsteen Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Yes, mines always solid but goes a bit runny if I have it too near the heat from the cooker. Since it's basically a saturated fat I can't see how it would be runny at room temp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, Kisteen, liquid coconut oil and butter oil have more MCTs than their solid counterparts so liquid does not mean wrong or bad. Way too sciency for me, but when I read about it, it made sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsteen Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Yeah but isn't liquid coconut oil also way more expensive and I can uderstand butter oil being liquid at room temp but then it wouldn't be ghee or would it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Yes Kirsteen I think you are right about it not being ghee. I wonder how they keep butter oil liquid. I actually don't understand how the coconut oil stays liquid or why it has more MCTs. I started to read the literature but it gave me a headache. ;0) It is the price of olive oil. Maybe a little less. I use it a little sparingly. I have a spoonful before I go to the gym and for cooking when I want a drizzle, not a blob.

melbournegirl Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I have both liquid and solid ghee. The solid ghee is refrigerated, I like it better. The liquid ghee is not refrigerated... Like my coconut oil sometimes it is completely liquid, sometimes fully solid and sometimes a mixture of both.... It can depend on the storage temp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sits proudly on my counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
