does ghee expire - #24275
I am really confused about ghee and its shelf life! I love cooking with ghee and always thought it was something that lasts for ages. My grandma used to keep it on the kitchen counter for months and said it doesn’t go bad. But lately, I've been wondering, does ghee expire? I bought a big jar a few months ago and just noticed that there's no expiration date on it. I’ve been using it almost daily, but once I noticed a weird smell that sort of freaked me out. Like, does ghee really expire? Or can I still use it despite that? I read somewhere that if it smells off, I should toss it out, but then again, I think maybe it’s just the way this particular brand smells… but then, my friends say that if it’s made right, it should last for years. I’ve kept it in a cool place, but should I switch to keeping it in the fridge? Ugh, this is all so confusing! Just want to be sure I’m not eating something questionable here. Any advice would be super helpful!
