👀Ghee at Costco? A Sign of Changing Habits

👀 Spotted at Costco: Ghee is now on the shelves! Yep, the Cadillac of butters is officially mainstream, and I think it’s a clear sign that more people are waking up to the reality of our toxic food supply. Slowly, people are shifting to healthier choices. I call that a win!

What’s Ghee? Let’s Break It Down:

• The Basics: Ghee is clarified butter, minus the lactose, so it’s easier to digest.

• High Smoke Point: Perfect for high-temp cooking without breaking down into harmful compounds.

• Bonus: It’s more stable than most oils, meaning it won’t oxidize quickly. Oxidation is bad news because it can lead to heart disease and other issues.

🔥 Why Smoke Points Matter:

When you cook at high heat, oils and fats can oxidize (turn toxic). This process changes their molecular structure, and that’s when the problems start—think clogged arteries and heart disease. They often blame cholesterol for this, but let’s be real—it’s the oxidized fats that cause the real damage. And guess what? Statin sales make billions while your health takes the hit. 🤔

🚨 Beware of Seed Oils:

Common oils like corn, soybean, sunflower—these are everywhere. They’re industrial oils that go through heavy chemical processing, so they’re practically oxidized before you even cook with them.

• 🥤 Found in: 98% of processed foods and even your coffee creamer! (Seriously, check the labels.)

What to Use Instead:

Stick with naturally occurring fats like:

• Ghee 🧈

• Olive oil 🫒

• Butter 🧈

• Tallow (animal fat) 🐄

• Cream 🥛

These are the fats your body can handle—real, whole foods that don’t become toxic at high temperatures. 🌿

Where to Get Ghee in Raleigh, NC:

If Costco ever stops selling ghee (let’s hope not!), don’t worry—you can always find it at local Indian grocery stores like Patel Brothers or Aapka Bazaar. Ghee has been a staple in Indian cooking for centuries, and for good reason—it’s a nutritional powerhouse!

So, here’s the deal: Ghee isn’t just another fad. It’s part of a larger shift toward natural, whole foods that actually nourish your body. And honestly, if Costco keeps this up, I might just ask for a free membership next time. 😎
