White Butter – Made from buffalo milk
When we think of Janmashtami we think of butter – the food that Lord Krishna loved so much that he wouldn’t stop short of stealing it. While the diet and weight loss industry has shunned it into oblivion, making it the most feared food for dieters the world over, our ancestors used to use it abundantly in the form of white butter and ghee.
According to a renowned dietician to the stars, white butter and ghee are foods that do immense good for our bodies. Here is a list of benefits the yummy treat has.
According to Rujuta, ‘Rich in anti ageing Vitamin A and enzymes, makhan or white butter enhances not just taste of food but life itself. The food of Gods!’
1. Provides ‘healthy’ calories: Butter as we all know has a high calorie value.

Helps develop the brain and nervous system in children: Since butter contains Arachidonic Acid (AA) that plays an important role in brain function and the maintenance of healthy cellular structure, it is very good for the proper development of a child’s brain.

I recently purchased the White Butter from GheeStore, and it has quickly become a staple in my kitchen. The texture is incredibly creamy, and the taste is pure and rich—perfect for spreading on toast, baking, or cooking. It adds a wonderful flavor to everything I use it in, and knowing it’s made from high-quality ingredients makes it even better. This is, without a doubt, the best white butter I’ve ever had. Highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic and delicious butter!
