What to know about Truefarm Certified A2 Ghee
A clean one-ingredient ghee that is almost all fat
Truefarm Certified A2 Ghee is clarified butter with one ingredient, printed as 100% Pure A2 Ghee. The pack says it comes from Gir cows and is hand churned by the traditional bilona method. It is bought by home cooks who want a rich, familiar-tasting cooking fat and who care about the A2 milk story. The pack holds 500 ml, which is 450 g.
Per 100 g it has 898 kcal, 99.78 g fat and 53.67 g saturated fat. Protein, carbohydrate and sugar are all 0 g, trans fat is declared as 0 g, and cholesterol is 180.6 mg. Sodium is almost nil at 0.34 mg. Vitamin A is declared at 670.2 per 100 g. The printed serve is 5 ml, about 4.5 g, which gives about 40 kcal and 2.4 g saturated fat.
The pack leads with Certified A2, Gir cows and hand churning. The ingredient list is as short as a list can be, so nothing is hidden behind the story. What the name cannot change is the fat: A2 describes the milk protein, and ghee has no protein in it. CleanPlate scores it CB4.
Why Truefarm Certified A2 Ghee scores CB4
Nutrition is a C because there is no protein or fibre, and only the vitamin A adds credit. Ingredients are a B for a one-item list, and risk is a 4 on 53.67 g saturated fat per 100 g.

01 Nutrition density: why C
There is no protein, fibre or carbohydrate: the product is 99.78 g fat per 100 g. With no protein or fibre to earn credit, the core score is zero.
The grade comes from the vitamin A declared on the panel, which adds a small bonus. No other vitamins or minerals are declared.
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
The list is one item, 100% Pure A2 Ghee. There are no additives, no sweeteners, no flavours and no hydrogenated fat, so the declared 0 g trans fat is accepted as it is.
No label-integrity points are lost. The A2, Gir cow and hand-churned wording describes the product and does not promise a nutrient the panel contradicts.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 0 g
- Sodium
- 0.34 mg
- Saturated fat
- 53.7 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Energy and saturated fat drive the 4. Saturated fat is 53.67 g per 100 g, more than ten times the 5 g high line, and energy is 898 kcal per 100 g.
Sugar, trans fat and sodium add nothing: all are 0 g or close to it. Per 5 ml serve the load is small, about 2.4 g saturated fat and 40 kcal, which is why the number depends on how much is used.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Truefarm Certified A2 Ghee live up to its claims?
The pure, single-ingredient claim holds. The A2 and hand-churned claims are the maker's own and cannot be checked from the label, and the pack prints two different serve sizes.
- On the packBe careful
“Certified A2”
The pack names Gir cow A2 milk and says it contains A2 beta casein. The nutrition panel cannot confirm milk protein type, so this rests on the maker's certification.
- On the packBe careful
“Traditional Hand Churned”
The back describes boiled A2 milk, a wooden bilona and clarified butter. The one-item ingredient list fits that story, but the method cannot be seen on the label.
- On the packHolds
“100% Pure A2 Ghee”
The ingredient list is a single item with no additives, and fat is 99.78 g per 100 g.
- On the packBe careful
“Naturally Easy to digest”
No digestion figure is given. The panel shows 0 g protein, 0 g carbohydrate and 99.78 g fat per 100 g.
- On the packBe careful
“Serving size 5 ml or 10 ml”
One panel prints a 5 ml serve with about 100 servings, and a smaller panel prints 10 ml with 50 servings. The per 100 g values are the same on both.
What's in Truefarm Certified A2 Ghee?

Recipes with Truefarm Certified A2 Ghee
Ghee suits a teaspoon in tadka, on roti or in the pan. Each 5 ml serve is about 40 kcal, so measure it rather than pour.
Dal tadka
Heat one 5 ml serve, about 40 kcal, for the cumin and garlic tadka and the flavour carries the whole pot.
Ghee on roti
A thin smear of 5 ml adds about 2.4 g saturated fat, so measure it with a spoon.
Sautéed vegetables
Use a teaspoon in the pan for onions or beans, so the fat is flavouring, not the main ingredient.
