Pure ghee has 300 mg of cholesterol per 100gm
Do not get scared by this figure. 300 mg are present in 100g
which means 20 teaspoons.
Do we eat 20 spoons of ghee? we may eat at the most 2 spoons which contains only 30 mg of cholesterol.
It is good to have one or two teaspoons of ghee every day without feeling guilty.
