I was assured by my nurse, who is also a scientist that this should be as easy as going to any store and simply buying butter?

Any ideas?

So,two things:

1) Can I buy clarified butter at a grocery store?
2) Is it not true that All Butter is 100% Butterfat?

Thanks in advance!

Look for Ghee. It is essentially clarified butter. It is in jars on
the shelf, not refrigerated where I get it.

"Butter consists of butterfat, milk proteins and water."

Do you ever see something called ghee? If you have a Trader Joe's,
you can buy it there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghee

Thank you very much! I was being led to believe all butter was 100% Butterfat. It's lucky there are some knowledgeable people here who can help us.

And does this nurse/scientist have a reason for you to fear water and
milk solids?

Possibly. It depends on your grocery store.

It is not true. In the U.S., butter is minimum 80% fat
by USDA regulation. The other 20% are water, milk solids,
and possibly added salt and coloring.

I suspect the higher fat butter manufacturers are just withholding water
to their cows. The cows are constantly kept dehydrated which would
product less water content in their milk. This will make higher
butterfat in the butter. Contacting PETA to investigate this heinous
process. ;-D

Whatever you do don't buy that German butter. It had only 86% butterfat. What's in the rest of that butter - sauerkraut? The way I see it, they owe me a 14% discount! I never trusted those Germans after they bombed Pearl Harbor!
