Which Ghee is Better - A1 or A2? Know the Clear Difference

For centuries ghee has anchored Indian kitchens and Ayurvedic healing alike. Yet rising interest now sparks a simple question: is A1 or A2 ghee the smarter pick for health?

If the distinction still feels hazy, youre definitely not the only one. Learning how each type is produced-and how your body responds-will guide you toward the ghee that suits you best.

At Gavyaveda, we like returning to simpler times, so we make our ghee the old-fashioned way, with the Bilona method, and we use only A2 milk. Lets take a quick tour of what makes A2 ghee stand out and why it may fit better into your everyday health plan.

Understanding A1 and A2 Ghee

A1 Ghee

Made with milk from crossbred or overseas cows, such as Jersey or Holstein.

Contains A1 beta-casein protein.

Usually turned out in factories and may start with cream, not whole curd.

For some people it sits heavy in the stomach.

Misses the Ayurvedic lore and deep nutrition that traditional ghee carries.

A2 Ghee

Crafted from the milk of native breeds like Gir, Sahiwal, or Tharparkar.

Features only the A2 beta-casein, easier on most digestive systems.

Made by the Bilona method: milk-curd-butter-ghee.

Rich in omega-3s, vitamins A, D, E, K, and natural antioxidants.

Long used in Ayurvedic recipes as medicinal ghee.

Why A2 Ghee is the Healthier Choice

1. Better Digestion

The A2 protein is gentler on the gut, making it suitable for people with lactose sensitivity or weak digestion.

2. Free from Harmful Additives

A2 ghee is usually clear of hormones, antibiotics, or preservatives, especially when it comes from ethical farms.

Traditional Wellness

Ayurveda considers A2 ghee to be sattvic-nourishing, curative, and uplifting to the spirit.

It appears in Panchakarma treatments and in sacred rituals.

Final Verdict: A2 Ghee Wins for Health, Purity, and Tradition
