Understanding Labels: How to Spot Pure & Authentic Ghee and Oils

In today’s market, where every product claims to be “pure,” “natural,” or “organic,” it’s becoming increasingly difficult to identify what’s truly authentic. When it comes to ghee and cooking oils, the confusion is even greater. Many products are chemically processed, blended with cheaper substitutes, or packaged with misleading labels.
At House of Daadi, we believe that purity shouldn’t need a magnifying glass — it should be visible in the aroma, texture, and transparency of your food essentials. This blog will help you understand how to read labels and choose truly pure and authentic ghee and oils for your family.


Why Authenticity Matters

The purity of your ghee or oil determines more than just the taste of your food — it affects your health, digestion, and overall well-being. Adulterated products often contain refined or hydrogenated fats, artificial color, or even chemical solvents used during extraction.
Consuming these over time can lead to inflammation, poor gut health, and fatigue. Genuine A2 ghee and wood-pressed oils, on the other hand, retain their natural vitamins, antioxidants, and healthy fats — supporting immunity and longevity.


Key Things to Check on Labels

1. Ingredients List

Always start with the ingredients. A pure product should have only one ingredient — for example, “100% A2 cow milk ghee” or “100% cold-pressed groundnut oil.”
If you see additives like stabilizers, flavors, or colorants, it’s a red flag.

2. Extraction Method

Look for words like “Bilona Ghee”, “Cold-Pressed”, or “Wood-Pressed” on the label. These terms indicate traditional, chemical-free extraction methods that preserve nutrients.
Avoid anything labeled as “Refined,” “Hydrogenated,” or “Blended Oil” — these undergo high-heat processing and chemical treatment.

3. Milk Source (for Ghee)

For A2 ghee, the label should mention the breed of cow — such as Gir, Sahiwal, or Tharparkar. These indigenous breeds naturally produce A2 milk rich in beta-casein protein.
Imported or cross-bred cow milk usually contains A1 protein, which can cause digestion issues in some people.

4. Color and Texture

Pure ghee has a golden-yellow hue and a slightly grainy texture. Similarly, wood-pressed oils should retain their natural color and aroma.
If the oil looks crystal clear or has no scent at all, it’s likely refined and stripped of nutrients.

5. Packaging and Storage

Traditional packaging like wooden jars or dark glass bottles helps preserve purity and prevent oxidation.
Avoid plastic containers that can leach chemicals into the product, especially when stored in warm conditions.

How to Test at Home

You can also do simple checks yourself:
