I have been using clarified butter for a number of years. Clarified butter is made from butter but that is processed so that is free of lactose casein gluten and sodium. Clarified butter is a great source of saturated fats and other fats for me. It has 0 g of carbs and no sugar. It also has no sodium. I use clarified butter in my coffee along with coconut oil to make a delicious and nutritious morning beverage
