What to know about Anveshan Desi Cow A2 Ghee
Pure milk fat: clean list, 66 g saturated fat
A 905 g (1 L) jar of ghee with one ingredient on the label: A2 desi Hallikar cow milk fat. The pack says it is made from bi-directionally churned curd (the bilona method) on farms in Karnataka. It is bought as a traditional cooking and finishing fat, often by people who want a ghee with a clear single origin.
It is all fat. Per 100 g the panel shows 900 kcal, 100 g fat, 66.43 g saturated fat and 282 mg cholesterol, with 0 g protein, carbohydrate, sugar, fibre and sodium. One 14 g tablespoon has 126 kcal, 9.3 g saturated fat and 39.5 mg cholesterol, and the jar holds 65 of them.
The name and the ingredient line agree: it is cow milk fat and nothing else, with no additives. The wider wellness promises on the retailer page go further than the panel can back up, since no vitamins are declared. CleanPlate scores it EB4.

01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein, carbohydrate, sugar and fibre are all 0 g per 100 g. The product is 100 g fat per 100 g and 900 kcal, so there is nothing for the nutrition grade to credit.
No vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel, so no micronutrient bonus applies, whatever the retailer page says about vitamins A, E, D and K.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.
