THE BASICS
Ghee has been at the heart of Indian kitchens and Ayurvedic healing for thousands of years. But not all ghee is equal. A2 Ghee is prepared exclusively from the milk of indigenous Indian cow breeds like Gir, Sahiwal and Rathi cows. These cows naturally produce A2 beta-casein protein, which is easier to digest and considered more compatible with the human digestive system.
Modern commercial dairy products often come from cross-bred cows that produce A1 beta-casein protein. Many people report bloating and discomfort after consuming A1 dairy, which is why A2 dairy products have gained popularity worldwide.
THE DIFFERENCE
The distinction lies in the protein type of the milk used and the traditional process followed to prepare the ghee.
