what is the difference between organic and organic cultured ghee?

Organic ghee is organic butter that has the milk solids removed. Organic cultured ghee has been fermented to make the ghee probiotic.

The process...One of the traditional processes of making ghee involves culturing the cream before churning it into butter and then clarifying it into ghee. Pure Indian Foods Grass-fed Organic Cultured Ghee is made by following this age-old and time-honored practice. The result is a delightfully aromatic ghee with a slight tangy flavor characteristic of cultured foods. And as always, Pure Indian Foods ghee is made from milk obtained only during the spring and fall when the cows are on the pasture eating rapidly growing fresh, green grass. Why Cultured Ghee? Milk contains lactose, a natural sugar which gives it that delicate sweet taste. In order for the body to breakdown lactose, an enzyme called lactase must be present. Many people lack this valuable enzyme in their digestive system causing a common digestive problem known as lactose intolerance. In order to metabolize lactose, lactase must always be present. During the culturing of milk or cream, lactose is converted into lactic acid. This makes for a much more digestible product for many people. Remember, generally ghee does not cause a problem with lactose intolerance. This is because during the ghee making process, the lactose is removed even if the butter used to make the ghee was not made from fermented cream.

Cultured ghee has added live bacterial cultures. This makes the flavor a little bit more tangy, but both are delicious.

Cultured ghee does not contain any live bacteria. They are killed in the clarifying process. The tangy flavor may come from some lactic acid remaining after clarifying.

There are two different products. One organic and the other is not. The organic one cost a little more

Ancient Organics sources their dairy from Straus Family Creamery, which is located in Petaluma, Marin County, northern California. The ghee packaging itself makes no mention of country of origin other than Ancient Organics' address itself (726 Allston Way, Berkeley, CA 94710). It is approximately 40 miles away from the dairy farm. I'm not sure why Ancient Organics would ship NorCal dairy halfway across the world to make ghee but here is their contact information if you would like to ask the company directly: 510 280-5043 / tasha@ancientorganics.com. They are also very active on Facebook and other social media sites. Ancient Organics sources their dairy from Straus Family Creamery, which is located in Petaluma, Marin County, northern California.

Most people would say that Ghee is paleo approved, as all the milk solids have been removed. However, if you want to avoid dairy in absolutely every way, I would just go with straight coconut oil. Even the whole9 endorses this stuff. This stuff is fantastic!

Tera's Whey organic is just that: certified organic. Rbgh free comes from cows milk that is not organic, but is free from artificial growth hormones

Ancient Organics Ghee is 100% California sourced, produced and owned. They have absolutely no connection to the UAE whatsoever. I have personally visited the Straus creamery and I know they feed their cows grass or grass silage year round.

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.

As a person that takes several products from Healthforce, and had researched them thoroughly, I believe the founder's claim of holding himself to stricter standards than anything the FDA or USDA would claim as organic. The simple answer is, you'd have to test it to know for sure.

I got my amalaki from Vadik Herbs, which says "wildcrafted" and "100% natural." Not sure if that is the same as organic, but I took "wildcrafted" to mean not cultivated or treated. Other than that, don't know.

Look at the company's website, pthorticulture.com, and you will be able to compare all of their products. They make a growing ,mix that has organic in the name so you might want to try that, depending on your intended use.

There is no such thing as raw ghee, as heat is the very thing that separates the solids from the oil. Better heat than chemicals! Ghee is a special substance in healthy cooking and holistic healthcare. If you are looking for something raw to cook with, or something raw that is a beneficial oil, I recommend raw coconut oil, although the flavor will impact some dishes.

Check out the Pure Indian Foods website for detailed info on the process--the fermentation process produces flavor compounds which gives the ghee a more buttery taste. Plus it's easier to digest. Again, check the website. No casein or lactose in cultured ghee. Delicious!!!!

The bottle says both. Two different types of extract and some powder also - all organic.

It is your preference, if you prefer organic go for it... I find both effective
