Pick up a jar of Wellness Grain Amla Prash and the ingredient list has an unexpected entry: A2 Gir cow ghee, at 7%. People ask about it more than almost anything else on the label. Fair question. Here is the story.
Ghee has always been part of the prash tradition
Classical prash-style preparations, including the better-known Chyawanprash, have traditionally included ghee. It is one of the oldest ingredients in the format, so a prash without any is the unusual one.
What ghee does in the jar
- Texture: it gives the prash a smooth, glossy, spoonable body instead of a dry, sticky paste
- Taste: it rounds off the sharpness of amla with a mellow, nutty richness
- Carrying aroma: fats carry the fragrance of spices like cinnamon and cardamom, so the jar smells as good as it tastes
Why A2 Gir cow ghee specifically
Gir cows are an indigenous Indian breed, and A2 ghee made by the traditional bilona method is a Wellness Grain staple. Using it in the prash follows the same sourcing logic as our standalone ghee. Learn more in are Gir cows treated well? and why Gir cows are trusted for ghee.
What the 7% means for you
It is a small share by weight but an important one for feel and flavour. It also means the prash contains dairy, so anyone avoiding milk products should read the label carefully.
A fair note
Ghee is a calorie-dense fat, and a spoon of prash is a food to enjoy in sensible portions, not a free-for-all. If you have specific dietary needs, check with a doctor or dietitian.
