Smen
Sman is a form of clarified butter widely used in South Asian, Middle Eastern and North African cuisines; it’s made by simmering butter to remove milk solids and water, leaving a shelf‑stable, aromatic fat prized for frying and finishing dishes. It has a very high fat content at 99.5g per 100g, making it extremely calorie‑dense and a concentrated source of fat‑soluble nutrients. While valued for its rich flavor and high smoke point, it is high in saturated fat so is best used sparingly; it also contributes fat‑soluble vitamins such as vitamin A and can add depth to both savory and sweet recipes.
