Ghee is having a moment right now. People call it a magic food that
will melt your fat away. Kourtney Kardashian swears by it. Whole
Foods is selling it. And the marketing language always comes back
to how “ancient,” “pure” and “authentic” it is. And Ahmed can’t
stop thinking about it. So this week, we’re spending the whole
episode tackling one question: Why is this happening to ghee? We do
a taste test with the brain trust, chat with BuzzFeed Health editor
Sally Tamarkin, NYU Food Studies Department chair Krishnendu Ray,
and Ahmed’s aunt Naheed Usmani to chew on it.
