Our take
CleanPlate reviewPlain milk fat with a bare panel
Ananda Pure Ghee lists one ingredient, milk fat, in a 450 ml pack. The panel is printed per 100 g.
CleanPlate scores it EB5. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 g. The B for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by milk fat), and almost no additives. The 5 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (65 g per 100 g) and calories (897 kcal per 100 g).

Common misconceptions
Myth: "Ghee is good for digestion"
The panel shows 65 g of saturated fat and 897 kcal per 100 g; nothing on the pack supports a digestive benefit.
Myth: "Ghee has no cholesterol"
This pack prints 73.33 mg of cholesterol per 100 g.
How often, and how
- Healthy adultsA teaspoon or two a day
- ChildrenA teaspoon a day
- Diabetes or prediabetesSmall amounts, watch the portion
Smarter ways to eat it
Use a teaspoon
A teaspoon (5 g) is about 45 kcal, and a tadka needs little.
Add it at the end
A small spoon on hot dal or roti carries the flavour with less ghee overall.
