Ghee (Clarified Butter) vs. Sesame Oil (Toasted)
Comparing 2 standards across 9 specifications. 9 key differences identified.
Ghee is clarified butterfat simmered until water evaporates and milk solids caramelize and are filtered out. Per 100g, it delivers 884 kcal, 99.8g fat (62% saturated, 29% monounsaturated), zero lactose, zero casein, and a high smoke point of 252°C (485°F).
Toasted sesame oil is expeller-pressed from roasted sesame seeds (Sesamum indicum). Per 100g, it provides 884 kcal, 40.5% monounsaturated fat, 41.5% PUFA, 14.2% saturated fat, sesamol antioxidants, and a finishing smoke point of 177°C (350°F).
