Q. Which is healthier, butter or butter oil?

Answer

Both are healthy options. Butter is derived from milk fat, and butter oil is derived from butter. The butter oil can is also called Ghee, as it is the anhydrous form of butter. Ghee offers a pleasant aromatic culinary experience, as compared to butter. Ghee is considered healthier than the use of butter. Butter has a low smoking point compared to ghee, and traditional Indian cuisines do not recommend the use of more butter. Ayurvedic practices discount butter as a cooking medium and recommend the plentiful use of butter oil or ghee.
