Much of the ghee manufactured in India today is of the type known as vanaspati ghee, or vegetable ghee. This is not quality ghee at all, as it is not made from butter. This fake ghee is made from fully or partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. Palm oil is commonly used, since palm oil (like coconut oil) is solid at room temperature. Palm is one of the worst oils you could choose though, since it is encouraging the destruction of forests in Indonesia and Malaysia, and it is considered a relatively unhealthy vegetable oil. Besides, palm oil is nothing like quality ghee. Read the ingredient labels carefully, and when in doubt, don’t buy it.
