What is the difference between cultured ghee & regular ghee? Are they both organic & grass fed? Which has more health benefits? Thanks

Yes they are both grass-fed. The cultured ghee is supposed to beneficial because the probiotics that grow in the cultured dairy are beneficial to the gut for digestion. I didn't buy the cultured ghee because if you're cooking with it you'll kill the beneficial bacteria anyway so no need for the higher cost. If you plan to use it to butter bread then it might be worth the purchase.

Ghee made from cultured butter has a richer flavor profile. In ayurveda, it is necessary to make ghee from cultured butter (butter made from churning yogurt made from the cream) as it stimulates the agni, or digestive fire. There are no live cultures left in the ghee, but the flavor difference is pronounced. I only use cultured ghee. This one above is not, I think, but PIF makes one that is.

I suspect the fresh form is better but most people will want to purchase the ground form. Easier to use and they will not have to grow it in their back yard. It may not degrade much from being ground and stored because evidently the health benefits remain after cooking. This particular brand is not as processed as some others that I have used -- it is coarser and softer and slightly moist. I have read that carrots and garlic become healthier if you dice them more finely. This may be a nice compromise between the raw root and the finely ground dry powders that I often find. This is my favorite brand so far. I want to start gardening but not waste time on turmeric as long as I can get this brand from Amazon.

To make ghee involves the process of melting and simmering butter so no ghee can be claimed as a raw product. For raw milk butter you may want to try Organic Pastures Dairy for they sell great quality raw dairy products (in CA). Or simply search for organic raw dairy products in your local area.

hi sorry for taking so long to answer. i'm no expert so i would sugget you google organic food and read the valuable info, i say organic is better because it's done naturally and no chemical which to me is always the best.

I'm not sure since I haven't tied, "regular gelatin obtained from grass fed cows". If you sell the product I'll try it out. I like what collagen does for me.

I contacted the company and it is NOT from grassfed cows. (And for at least some of us it DOES matter whether gelatin is from grassfed cattle, whether we view it as a personal health issue or an ethical one.)

I doubt it. USDA organic milk is not the same as milk from grass fed cows. Protein powder is garbage anyway. Drink kefir and eat meat.

The oats in this product are grown in fields dedicated to only oats, without cross contamination with wheat or other grains, and tested for purity. The package states they are free of preservatives and chemicals. No mention of organic on the label, however. Also note that there is no legal definition of organic foods. They are as pure as needed for celiacs. Enjoy.

From their site: "Purity Farms Ghee (Clarified Butter) is made from Grade AA Sweet Cream Certified Organic** butter." Package says it's "...from sweet cream butter from our pastured cows on our certified organic family farms." And package also says "USA farmed & manufactured" :)

I dont have a firm answer but If it was 100% grass fed, they would make it really clear on the label. Looks like it might be from cows that are pasture fed some few hours a week or something vague. Usually, when a label is vague, there is a reason. If it is USA sourced and grass fed, it would likely say organic. So, there seems to be some reason why its not organic. I would like to know as well.

Hi. I am not vegan or do I always buy organic but according to the label it says: Contains no apple fiber, rice flour, artificial colors or preservatives. Vegetarian. Also under the supplement facts it lists the blends that are organic which is most of them: all of the juice blends, and most of the poten-zyme whole food matrix, which are the grasses and sprouts, and most of the veggie juice blends. Hope this is somewhat helpful.Thanks.

What about certified organic butter?All butter is fabulous, and organic butter at least comes from cows raised without growth hormones or antibiotics. You also know their feed is GMO-free and pesticide-free. YAY.Yet, organic dairy standards in the U.S. only require cows have "year round access to the outdoors except under specific conditions (inclement weather)," not necessarily that their outdoor lots be full of lush, green grasses and happy meadows and pastures.So, while some organic dairies may raise their cows out on pasture for the vast majority of the year, others simply may not. Therefore, organic certification is completely irrelevant to determining if the butter is from grass-fed cows.

Great question....... Typically we try to go the "Organic" route on most of our foods as well.......but if you did your homework you will see the the gov't owns the rights to the term "organic" as far as store bought foods is concerned, so how honest are they really being is the question? Now, why I continue to buy this product is that fact that they are oats off of a non-GMO (genetically modified organisms) farm, which to me, goes farther than putting an "organic" label on something. Not sure I fully answered your question, but I am up to this point still a strong advocate of Bob's Red Mill Rolled Oats. Especially good with Raw unpasteurized honey and raw/organic cinnamon!

this was the e-mail reply I received from Purity Farms when I inquired about their feeds and if they were gluten-free or not."All animals receive 100% organic feed. All cows get a mixture of organic forages and organic grains in their diet. Forages are grass, hay, silage, baylage and other "green feeds". Hay is simply dried plant material like grass and alfalfa. Silage and baylage are fermented or "wet" plant material. Grains include corn, barley, soybeans, oats, field peas and flax.

This actually is NOT 100% grass-fed. Their website states: Pasture Raised with Love! In a way cows are like kids - the more time outside the better. Our farmers send their cows out into lush, organic pastures for fresh air, exercise and grazing (weather permitting of course). Our Pasture-Raised animals receive the majority of their nutrition from organically managed pastures and stored dried grasses/forages. To ensure they get the complete nutrition they need, our cows may also be fed supplemental organic grains, both during the grazing season and into winter months. Supplemental organic grains can include any of the following: corn, soy, oats, barley, triticale and other small grains. Animals also receive necessary mineral supplements that sometimes include non-iodized salt.

No! Those are lies by bloggers who are affiliates and want your cash commissions. There is nothing GMO-free or rBGH-free here, it's conventionally farmed. Do you seriously think if this product were grass-fed and free from GMOs that it wouldn't be plastered all over the label? THINK! It's from Argentina. Google, your friend, will show you pictures of factory farmed animals in cages along with articles that state US-style factory farming has now replaced grass-fed beef in their country due to high demands for their meat. Sneaky, huh!?
