How to know if you are using adulterated ghee?

Adulteration is a part of everyday life. From your milk to your ghee, everything has added impurities. According to experts, impure ghee has many toxic ingredients including coal tar, rancid old ghee, and animal fats. One of the few simple ways to check the purity of your ghee is to take it in your palms, rub it well, and leave it for 10-15 minutes. If it smells, the ghee is pure as clarified butter has a distinctive smell.

Another easy way is to boil your ghee in the double boiler method. Let the ghee melt completely, allow it to cool, and then refrigerate. If the ghee forms layers in the container, it is adulterated.

You can also check your ghee's purity by pouring some ghee into room-temperature water. If the ghee floats, it is genuine!
