Question about Pure Ghee
Posted by mgi on May 12, 2006 · Member since May 2006 · 1 posts
Hello,
Is pure ghee vegetarian ? someone mentioned about a high court ruling (in india) regarding adding some fish-derivative to ghee, maybe a few years ago but had no idea whether this was even implemented.
Thank you.
you will obviously be surprised to know that ghee is simply clarified butter and therefore, pure or not, ghee is not vegetarian.
see Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghee
cheers!
thankyou for clarifying this sandhya. in retrospect, i should have used the word vegan, rather than vegetarian.
:)Note: vegetable ghee is available from Indian grocers, sold as 'Vanaspati Ghee.'
