teachermama Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Can anyone tell me if there is a common store that sells ghee? I went to Trader Joes but no luck unless I was looking in the wrong place. Anywhere else? I am starting my first Whole 30 on Monday and want to be prepared. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted July 24, 2016 Moderators Share Posted July 24, 2016 I'm surprised Trader Joe's doesn't have it, I know people buy it there. It might be in the refrigerated section with other butter, or it might be with oils since it is shelf stable. Whole Foods, Sprouts, or a local health food store if you have one might have it. You can also make your own pretty easily. Or you could just skip it until you find it somewhere else and cook in coconut oil, olive oil, lard, tallow, or duck fat until you come across some -- for those last three, check your regular grocery store for Epic brand in jars, my normal grocery store has started carrying them on the same aisle as other oils.

Karen_Suep Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 You might be able to find it in an Indian grocery since it's used in a lot of Indian food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sstrayer Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Trader Joes has it. It's in the aisle with the oils, not in the refrigerated section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieP757 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Ghee is also super easy to make. I use unsalted Kerrygold butter to make mine. I shoot for dark gold/light brown color when I make it. http://www.everydaymaven.com/2013/how-to-make-ghee/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtFossil Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Make your own! I hate the browned butter taste of ghee and stick to the classic clarified butter state. Alton Brown explains all and you can make a pound during one 45 minute Netflix episode of your favorite TV show. You can use Kerrygold for the luxury edition or generic unsalted butter for the frugal version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DianeinFL Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Amazon or Thrive Market or your local health food store. Its delicious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teachermama Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 Found it at Trader Joe's! Thanks everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestorm531 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I had trouble finding it at TJ's too; I kept looking with the rest of the butter products and did realize it was a shelf stable product. I haven't tasted it yet, have you? Does it just taste like butter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tasted it yet, have you? Does it just taste like butter? Clarified butter (unbrowned) tastes just like butter (to me) only better. (And it doesn't burn.) It helped make my Whole30 food delicious. Ghee (continuing to cook the clarified butter until it browns) has a nuttier taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhed Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I saw ghee at my local Target the other day, so that may be an option as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUMP2MAN3 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Ghee can be found at Fresh Market, WholeFoods, ThriveMarket. I also believe that some of the approved whole30 vendors sell on their site, one being Tin Star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firestorm531 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I brought up using our KGB for some homemade ghee and my husband, who is not doing W30, said he prefers it in its current form LOL I'm plotting heeheehee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandora Black Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Whole Foods, Rayley's/Bel Air, pretty much any health food store that's local to you, indian grocery stores, and Trader Joes (they do have it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
