What to know about Country Delight Desi Danedar Cow Ghee
One-ingredient ghee, 61 g saturated fat per 100 g
Country Delight Desi Danedar Cow Ghee is clarified butterfat with one ingredient on the label: cow milk ghee. It comes in a 700 ml jar holding 630 g, and it is bought for tempering, frying, finishing dals and rotis, and the grainy ('danedar') style it is named for.
Per 100 g it is 99.7 g fat, 61 g of it saturated, and 902 kcal. There is no protein, carbohydrate, sugar or sodium. It does carry 924 mcg of vitamin A per 100 g and 206 mg cholesterol. The pack's serve is 5 ml (4.51 g), which gives 41 kcal, about 2.8 g saturated fat and 42 mcg vitamin A.
The name promises desi ghee and the list is exactly that, with no additives and no added flavour. The cost is in the fat itself: 2.2 g trans fat per 100 g is declared, and no hydrogenated fat is listed. CleanPlate scores it CB4.
Why Country Delight Desi Danedar Cow Ghee scores CB4
Nutrition is a C because there is no protein or fibre, only vitamin A. Ingredients are a B for a single clean ingredient. Risk is a 4 on 61 g saturated fat and 902 kcal per 100 g.

- Vitamin A
- Energy
- 902 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
There is no protein and no fibre on the panel, and the fat is 99.7 g per 100 g, so the macros give little credit. The grade comes from the one micronutrient declared: vitamin A at 924 mcg per 100 g, 42 mcg in a 5 ml serve.
With no protein source identified, the protein factor is set low, which keeps the grade at a C.
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.

02 Ingredient integrity: why B

No label promise is hollow, and no hydrogenated fat is listed, so the declared trans fat is accepted as printed.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

- Trans fat
- 2.2 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Saturated fat is 61 g per 100 g, more than twelve times the 5 g high line, and energy is 902 kcal per 100 g. These two drive the risk number to a 4.
Sodium and sugar are both 0 g, so they play no part. Trans fat is declared at 2.2 g per 100 g and is accepted as printed. One 5 ml serve has about 2.8 g saturated fat.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Country Delight Desi Danedar Cow Ghee live up to its claims?
The name holds: the list is cow milk ghee and nothing else. The slogan is general, and the jar's 61 g saturated fat per 100 g is the number to keep in mind.
- Product nameHolds
“Desi Danedar Ghee”
The only ingredient is cow milk ghee, with nothing added. The grainy texture the name suggests is not something the label measures.
- On the packBe careful
“Live better”

- On the packHolds
“Net Quantity 700 ml (630 g)”
The pack prints both volume and weight, and notes the volume at 45°C. The nutrition figures are per 100 g, so use the 630 g weight for portions.
