"Comparing Coconut Oil and Ghee for Health Benefits"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by IndiaTimes
Coconut oil and ghee are both widely used in Indian cooking, each prized for their unique flavors and potential health benefits. Coconut oil is high in saturated fats, with potential antimicrobial properties, while ghee is primarily composed of saturated fats and contains fat-soluble vitamins. Both oils have high smoke points, making them suitable for high-heat cooking methods. While coconut oil's MCTs may have metabolic benefits, its saturated fat content may raise LDL cholesterol levels, while ghee's butyrate content may offer anti-inflammatory and gut health benefits. Both oils have their own potential health benefits and considerations.
