Ghee – Promotes longevity and protects the body from various diseases

Ghee is widely considered as the Indian name for clarified butterfat, usually prepared from cow’s milk,buffalo milk or mixed milk. In the Middle East, ghee is commonly made from goat, sheep or camel milk and it is known as maslee or by some variant of the Arabic term samn. In Iran, it is called roghan.
