Why Opt for A2 Desi Cow Ghee?

Have you heard about the A2 milk? If you ask a common person about A2 milk he will surely not have an idea about it. Everyone will just have the basic knowledge of milk being a  great source of protein and calcium. A tetra pack you get every day from the nearby stores for daily use.

But at present there are two types of milk. They are –

• A1 variety Milk
• A2 variety Milk

Many would have heard about this organic milk or ghee in recent times. Let me give you a clear picture regarding the types of milk which occupy their place in the market.

A1 variety milk

A1 cows are breeds like Holstein, Friesian and Ayrshire. A1 type of milk contains an amino acid called histidine. A1 beta-casein can be found in all commercially-prepared milk. A1 is considered a genetic mutation that results in the production of the compound BCM7. 

It is said that an A1 type of milk can cause harmful health effects. By consuming A1 type of milk the risk of type 1 diabetes is more. Studies proved that A1 beta-casein may develop insulin-dependent diabetes.

A2 variety milk

A2 cows are the earlier breeds of the Indian desi cow or the African cows. The structure of A2 variety milk is similar to the human milk beta-casein chain which does not produce the compound BCM7. Thus it is said that A2 milk supports easy digestion. As it is high in Omega 3 and 6, Vitamins, Calcium, Iodine, Minerals and antioxidant beta-carotene etc. A2 milk has shown medicinal benefits. 

Why A2 cow ghee?

You may be having questions like – why only A2 cow ghee? What are the benefits of ghee? What’s the significance of A2 milk ghee? So on and so forth. Let me tell you the truth about the use of A2 cow ghee in India.

The ghee made by the A2 milk which contains A2 beta-casein is called A2 ghee. Only some native Indian breed cows have A2 beta-casein in their milk. Only 3-4 breeds in India have a good milking capacity, which includes Tharparkar of Rajasthan, Sahiwal and Red Sindhi of Punjab and  Gir-Saurashtra etc. 

We prepare the pure desi ghee from A2 milk from our own Sahiwal breed cows. Sahiwal is a breed of Zebu cattle. It is also considered the best milch cattle breed. It is capable of giving up to 20 litres of milk at a time. It has 5-6% essential fat in its milk which is further used to prepare pure desi ghee under the Vedic method. 

Due to the presence of this additional allele, Sahiwal breeds milk acts as a blessing to humanity which in turn is helpful in curing several diseases like cholesterol, diabetes and heart problems. And this is the reason Sahiwal is considered an important cow breed. We do not use any artificial equipment or supplement in the cow’s diet. 

A2 cow ghee is made with A2 milk through a Vedic process. You can buy organic grass-fed desi cow ghee which is also called Vedic A2 ghee at our online store – https://sureshfoods.com/.

Vedic A2 ghee

Vedic A2 Ghee is the traditional healthy bilona-made ghee. It is prepared by simmering the butter obtained from churning the cultured curd made from Pure A2 Sahiwal cow milk. This method ensures the right balance of all fatty acids in our pure grass-fed desi cow ghee. Grass-fed Vedic A2 ghee has proven medicinal, cosmetic and other health benefits.

What is Bilona Churned Ghee?

Bilona Ghee is prepared by the traditional bilona churned method. You obtain desi ghee from the curd route. When you first obtain milk from desi cows, only 70% of milk is obtained and 30% is left for the calf. 

Then you boil milk in earthen pots and keep the milk overnight to make curd out of it. Once you have curd, you need to make butter out of curd and then this butter is boiled to evaporate water and the fat (clarified butter) is separated from the milk solids.

In this process, around 27 – 28 Kg of milk is used to make just 1 KG of ghee! It has all the properties described in Vedas and Ayurvedic Shastras. It is the essence of milk, rather than heating the cream obtained directly from milk.

Desi Ghee ( pure cow ghee), prepared by the bilona churning method, is more costly than the ghee prepared with the Commercial method; where companies use machines and chemicals to prepare ghee. Kindly refer to the link Why Desi Cow Ghee Is Costlier Than Normal Ghee.

• Boiling: 

The first point we have to remember here is the quality of ghee is dependent on the quality of milk. Many factors are impacting the quality of milk such as the health of the cow and living conditions of the cow and quality of grass intake by the cow. The first step is to boil the milk so that it will be free from bacteria and safe for consumption.

• Curdling:

The method of making curd is a spoonful of existing curd that you have to add in lukewarm milk overnight. Once your curd is set then keep it in a cool place before the next process.

• Churning:

The curd is churned in clockwise and anticlockwise motion with wooden Bilona to collect the solid Makhan on the upper surface of buttermilk and this way we get the Makkhan third step will over.

• Heating:

The collected butter has to be heated until the water content gets evaporated. Once it’s ready the ghee will start emitting the peculiar aroma and foams will produce on the surface while heating. The golden liquid ghee has to be strained through the strainer in a jar. Use a dry jar for long-lasting ghee.
