Arjun ghee is a variant of ghee infused with the bark of the Terminalia arjuna tree, commonly known as Arjuna — a large tree native to India, typically found along riverbanks across the subcontinent.
About the Arjuna Tree
Terminalia arjuna is a large, deciduous tree recognisable by its smooth, grey-white bark, most commonly found growing along rivers and streams. The tree shares its name with a figure from the Mahabharata, though botanically it's a distinct, well-documented species that has been described in Indian botanical literature for a long time.
How Arjun Ghee Is Made
The dried, powdered bark of the Arjuna tree is infused into ghee during preparation, giving the finished product a distinct flavour and colour compared to plain ghee. [Team: please confirm the exact infusion method/step used in TBOF's own process so this can be described precisely rather than generically.]
What's in Arjuna Bark
Arjuna bark naturally contains a range of plant compounds, including tannins and flavonoids — compounds that are also found across many other plants and are commonly studied in botanical research generally.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, the same as regular ghee.
