In order to prepare ghee, About half the milk produced is obtained from buffalos. The consistency of buffalo milk has about double the butterfat content of cows, but according to the ayurvedic research, such milk does not contain the same purifying and healing qualities as cow’s milk. Hence to figure out if the ghee is produced from buffalo milk, try to give a close look at the color. Ghee produced from Cow’s milk is golden yellow, and ghee produced from buffalo’s milk is dull yellow, or even whitish.
