Right way to store desi ghee
You need to know the right way to store it. Desi ghee should always be kept in an air tight container. Due to this, the dirt present in the air is not able to enter it, due to which it does not get spoiled quickly. If possible, desi ghee should always be kept in a glass vessel. When kept in the refrigerator, it does not spoil even for 2-3 years. Also, if there is even a slight change in the taste of ghee, heat it again and store it after it cools down. In this way you can keep desi ghee fresh for many years.
