Which item, derived directly from clarified butter, is listed as a component of the dairy category?
Answer
Ghee
Ghee, which is clarified butter, is explicitly listed as a food item that falls under the dairy category. Dairy encompasses milk produced by mammals and any food product derived directly from that milk. Other items listed as dairy include butter, cheese, yogurt, cream, whey, and casein. Ghee is formed through a process that removes milk solids and water from butter, but because its origin is butter (a dairy product), it remains classified within the dairy family, unlike eggs which originate from fowl.
