The Power of A2 Gir Cow Ghee: Why Bilona Method Ghee Is India’s Original Superfood
For centuries, ghee has been central to Indian cooking, Ayurveda, and wellness. But not all ghee is the same. Traditional A2 Gir Cow Ghee, prepared using the ancient Bilona method, is emerging as one of India’s most trusted natural superfoods — especially among families seeking purity, nutrition, and Ayurvedic benefits.
At Yashoda Organic Farms, we prepare ghee the way it was intended — from A2 milk of indigenous Gir cows, converted to curd and then hand-churned (bilona) into butter, before slow heating to produce pure, aromatic ghee. This is a return to heritage nutrition, untouched by industrial shortcuts.
What Makes A2 Gir Cow Ghee Different?
Most supermarket ghee today is made from cream collected in bulk dairies, often from A1 hybrid cows. In contrast, A2 Gir Cow Ghee contains A2 beta-casein protein, which is considered easier to digest and better tolerated by many Indian consumers.
The difference shows up in:
-
Aroma and taste
-
Digestibility
-
Ayurvedic compatibility
-
Nutrient retention
A2 Ghee is widely recommended for children, elders, athletes, and those with digestive sensitivity.
Bilona Method: A Lost Art Restored
The Bilona method is slow, labour-intensive, and rooted in Ayurveda. The process involves:
-
25–30 litres of A2 milk collected daily from grass-fed Gir cows
-
The milk is turned into curd using a natural starter
-
The curd is hand-churned with wooden bilona to extract butter
-
The butter is separated from buttermilk
-
The butter is slow-heated on a clay or steel vessel until ghee forms
This approach retains good fats, fat-soluble vitamins, and butyrates, making the ghee a natural functional food.
Five Evidence-Based Benefits of A2 Gir Cow Ghee
1. Supports Immunity and Gut Health
A2 ghee is rich in butyric acid, known for strengthening the intestinal wall and supporting immunity.
2. Enhances Digestion
Ayurveda prescribes ghee as an agni-deepak — a metabolism ignitor. It helps lubricate intestinal pathways and aid nutrient absorption.
3. Nourishes the Brain and Memory
Ghee is fuel for mental development. Its Omega-3 fats support cognitive function and nervous system strength.
4. Excellent for Bone, Eye, and Skin Health
A2 ghee provides fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, essential for skeletal strength, glowing skin, and hormonal balance.
5. Ideal for Cooking and Indian Diets
Its high smoke point makes it perfect for:
-
Tadka
-
Rotis and parathas
-
Laddoos and halwa
-
Ayurvedic detox routines
Unlike refined oils, A2 ghee enhances flavour without harming nutrient structure.
Why Gir Cows Matter
Gir cows are native to India and thrive in our climate. Their A2 milk is:
-
Naturally hormone-free
-
Gentle on digestion
-
Suitable for Ayurvedic foods
-
Traditionally consumed by Indian households
Supporting Gir cows also preserves indigenous breeds and sustains ethical farming.
