While we have access to grass fed cow’s milk, and we enjoy that, the butter that I had been buying was just ‘organic’ not grassfed. So recently, based on the advice from the Weston Price Foundation (quoted below) I chose to purchase grassfed ghee from Pure Indian Foods, especially for our children. Ghee is butter with the milk solids removed- which makes it appropriate for even those allergic to milk protein, on the GFCF (gluten free/casein free) diet, and food connoisseurs of all kinds; ghee is clarified butter, which makes it superior for cooking and is widely used in Indian food preparation. I’m buying it mainly because it’s made from cows who have been eating grass, which provides so many health benefits especially for our growing children.
From the Weston Price Foundation:
Many factors in butter ensure optimal growth of children. Chief among them is vitamin A. Individuals who have been deprived of sufficient vitamin A during gestation tend to have narrow faces and skeletal structure, small palates and crowded teeth. Extreme vitamin A deprivation results in blindness, skeletal problems and other birth defects. Individuals receiving optimal vitamin A from the time of conception have broad handsome faces, strong straight teeth, and excellent bone structure. Vitamin A also plays an important role in the development of the sex characteristics. Calves fed butter substitutes sicken and die before reaching maturity.The X factor, discovered by Dr. Weston Price (and now believed to be vitamin K2), is also essential for optimum growth. It is only present in butterfat from cows on green pasture. Cholesterol found in butterfat plays an important role in the development of the brain and nervous system. Mother’s milk is high in cholesterol and contains over 50 percent of its calories as butterfat. Children need the many factors in butter and other animal fats for optimal development.
