When you buy sweets, one question always comes to mind:
“Is the ghee used in these sweets actually pure?”
Pure ghee makes sweets taste rich, aromatic, and truly traditional.
But many shops secretly mix vegetable oils or vanaspati because they’re cheaper.
So how do you check purity?
Here are the simplest and most reliable ways to know whether the ghee in your sweets is truly pure or mixed.
Why Pure Ghee Matters in Sweets
When sweets are made with real desi ghee:
The flavour becomes naturally rich
The texture stays soft and smooth
The aroma feels homely and authentic
Digestion becomes easier
Shelf-life improves without chemicals
This is why at GaanvWala, we use 100% pure desi ghee made from fresh cow milk — no blending, no shortcuts.
How You Can Test Ghee Purity at Home
You don’t need a lab.
These simple tests are enough to know whether the ghee used is original or adulterated.
- The Aroma Test
Pure cow ghee has a natural, mild, slightly sweet aroma.
Impure or mixed ghee smells:
Too strong
Oily
Synthetic
Like vanaspati
If your sweets smell “extra greasy” instead of naturally fragrant, the ghee might not be pure.
- The Texture Test
Pure ghee has a grainy texture when cooled.
Fake ghee becomes:
Completely smooth
Waxy
Sticky
If your sweets feel unusually oily or leave a sticky layer on the mouth, the ghee is likely mixed.
- The Melting Test
Take a small bit of ghee from the sweet and warm it slightly.
Pure ghee melts evenly
Mixed ghee separates into layers of oil and residue
Separation is a clear sign of adulteration.
The Solidification Test
Put a small amount in the fridge for 20–30 minutes.
Pure cow ghee becomes light yellow and semi-solid
Fake ghee becomes white and hard
Mixed ghee forms uneven layers
This is one of the easiest purity checks.
The Taste Test
Pure ghee has a clean, rich taste that doesn’t leave bitterness.
If the sweet feels:
Too oily
Bitter
Artificial
Heavy on the stomach
…the ghee may not be pure.
The Flame Test (Traditional Method)
Take a little ghee and light it using a cotton wick.
Pure ghee burns with a bright, steady flame
Adulterated ghee gives a flickering or smoky flame
This is a classic purity test used for generations.
