Utterly Butterly Delicious...




While reading this line,you must be thinking of butter.Yes today we are going to discuss about butter.
Butter is the part of our food from ancient times. Indians have been eating butter from thousands years. In India butter is called as Makhan or Navneet.We offers makhan mishree to our dear lord Krishna.
The traditional method for obtaining butter is from dadhi ( yogurt).Yogurt prepared from cow's milk is best source of butter.Butter is good for children & old people.It mitigates vata & pitta, good for heart, cures duodenal diseases,piles,facial palsy, kindles hunger. In taste it is sweet slightly sour & astringent , cold in nature, easy to digest, memory enhancer & aphrodisiac& good for eyes. Of course these are qualities of fresh butter.
Butter obtained from buffalo's milk is heavy to digest,aggravates vaat & kapha, increases fats, it decreases burning sensation & fatigue, mitigates pitta.
Stale butter is sour,bitter & slightly salty in taste,causes nausea & vomiting, aggravates piles & skin diseases, heavy to digest & aggravates kapha & fats.It is unhealthy.
Butter available in market, since it is stale is hardly to say healthy. It can create problems.It should be avoided by the persons having skin diseases, obese & having weak digestive power.So use homemade butter & think twice before eat readymade butter.
