What to know about GRB Cow Ghee
One ingredient, but 62 g saturated fat per 100 g
GRB Cow Ghee is a 200 ml pack (182 g) of ghee with a one-word ingredient list: milk fat. It is bought as an everyday cooking fat and a finishing fat for dal, rice and rotis, for its aroma and richness.
What you get is flavour and energy. Per 100 g it has 897 kcal, 99.7 g fat and no protein, carbohydrate, sugar or sodium. A 14 g serve, the pack's own, has about 126 kcal and 8.7 g saturated fat. The pack holds about 13 servings. The one micronutrient declared is vitamin A, at 900 mcg per 100 g.
The front says Sign of purity, and the label backs that up: nothing is added. The cost is in the fat itself, with 62 g saturated fat and 1.5 g trans fat per 100 g, plus 200 mg cholesterol. CleanPlate scores it CB5.
Why GRB Cow Ghee scores CB5
Nutrition is a C, held up only by vitamin A because protein is 0 g. Ingredients are a B with a single item and no additives. Risk is a 5 on 62 g saturated fat per 100 g.

01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 0 g and carbohydrate is 0 g per 100 g, so the core nutrition earns nothing: the food is 99.7 g fat. The only lift comes from vitamin A, 900 mcg per 100 g, about 126 mcg in a 14 g serve.
No fibre, protein or other vitamins and minerals are declared, so nothing else adds to the grade.
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.

Very high risk
- Sodium

- 62 g
- Trans fat
- 1.5 g
03 Load risk: why 5
Saturated fat is the main driver: 62 g per 100 g, more than twelve times the 5 g high line. One 14 g serve has 8.7 g.
Energy is 897 kcal per 100 g, about 126 kcal per serve. Trans fat is declared at 1.5 g per 100 g, and because no hydrogenated fat is listed, that figure is taken as printed. Sugar and sodium are 0 g and play no part.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does GRB Cow Ghee live up to its claims?
The purity claim holds, since milk fat is the only ingredient. The health claims on the retailer page are framed, because the fat is 62 g saturated per 100 g.
- On the packHolds
“Sign of purity”
The ingredient list is milk fat alone, with no additives, flavours or other fats.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Made from 100% pure milk”
The retailer page shows 100% cow's milk, the pack shows Milk Fat. Both point the same way, but the pack is the precise description: it is the fat of the milk.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Great health in every spoonful”
The fat is real and carries vitamin A at 900 mcg per 100 g. But a 14 g spoonful has 8.7 g saturated fat and about 126 kcal, so the amount matters.

Dal tadka
Temper with half a 14 g serve of ghee, about 63 kcal, and let the cumin and garlic carry the flavour.
