The paleo diet is based on wholefoods packed with meats, fish, nuts, eggs, etc. People often wonder, is butter paleo? Butter is a dairy product with three main components: milkfat, water, and milk solids. The paleo diet meal plan resembles what human hunter-gatherers or ancestors consumed thousands of years ago. According to researchers, human ancestors used to follow a whole-food-based diet. 


This diet plan doesn't allow processed foods, sugar, dairy products, legumes, sweeteners, and vegetable oils. After knowing the basic concept of the paleo-style diet plan, we can't consider butter as a paleo-friendly product. Butter is rich in milk sugar (lactose) and milk protein (casein), creating dairy sensitivity among people with lactose intolerance. 


The paleo community has evolved dramatically. One can prefer using clarified butter instead of butter for making delicious and wholesome paleo recipes. Yes, clarified butter is allowed in paleo meal planning. When you follow a paleo diet, one can have 1-2 teaspoons of organic grass-fed ghee for having good-quality fat in the diet. Ghee manufacturers use grass-fed unsalted butter to make ghee


The clarified version of butter is highly nutritious and has a broader range of uses in the kitchen. As clarified butter is lactose-free and casein-free, it is an excellent dairy-free option for lactose-intolerants.
