Where Did Ghee Originate?
Ghee originated in ancient India, where it has been used for thousands of years in cooking, Ayurvedic medicine, and religious rituals. Early references to ghee, known as “ghrita,” appear in Vedic texts, highlighting its cultural and medicinal importance. Made by simmering butter to remove milk solids, ghee became valued for its rich flavor, higher smoke point, and long shelf life. Over time, its use spread to South Asian, Middle Eastern, and African cuisines through trade and cultural exchange.
