Ghee made from vegetable oil

Ghee made from vegetable oil is a vegetable oil-based cooking fat, rather than ghee made from milk fat. It mainly provides fat and energy, and also contains vitamin E. Per 100g, it provides 3702 kJ of energy, 100g of fat, including 47g of saturated fat, and 8.7mg of vitamin E.

Fat supplies energy and helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins. Vitamin E helps protect cells from oxidative damage. The high energy and saturated fat content of vegetable ghee is worth noting for people monitoring these aspects of their diet. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
