Market butter contains water, milk proteins, and salt mixed into milk or cream. Brands sell it in a packaged and processed form.
Ghee, on the other hand, comes from melting butter or cream over a flame. This heating process evaporates all the water. It leaves behind only pure fat without any artificial chemicals.
Difference in nutrients and calories…
