Some time ago, I made a batch of ghee, following hat I thought was previous techniques ... it's not difficult, there's relly not much to follow. The results were typicalexcept that they were a little gritty.  If you can imagine the crystals in aged Reggiano dissolving on your tongue, that might be close to what was in the ghee. In any case, has anyone experienced soething like this, does anyone know what might cause the issue?

Either milk solids or fat crystals. Or salt, if you used salted butter. 

 

Gritty while cold, warm, or both?  Did you strain it?

Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged.  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

No amount of belief makes something a fact.  -James Randi, magician and skeptic
