For most healthy adults, 1 to 3 teaspoons of ghee a day, about 10 to 15 grams, is a sensible amount. Ghee is a rich source of energy and fat-soluble vitamins, but it is still a fat, so the right amount depends on your overall diet and activity.
A simple daily guide
If you cook with ghee and are otherwise active, 2 to 3 teaspoons spread across the day suits most people: a little in your dal, on a roti, or in your morning routine. If you are watching your fat intake, 1 teaspoon is plenty to get the flavour and benefits.
Why ghee earns its place
Ghee carries vitamins A, D, E, and K, contains butyric acid that supports gut health, and has a high smoke point that makes it stable for Indian cooking. In Ayurveda it has long been valued in small, regular amounts rather than large ones.
Who should go easy
If you have been advised to limit saturated fat, or you are managing weight or heart health, keep to the lower end and speak to your doctor. Ghee is nourishing, but more is not better. Quality matters as much as quantity, which is why we make our A2 cow ghee pure and lab-tested.
