Pure Indian Foods cultured grassfed organic ghee

Pure Indian Foods at Madeline's

Pure Indian Foods is a family ghee company with roots that reach back to 1889, when an ancestor opened a pure ghee shop in Haryana, in northern India, a shop that still operates today. Husband-and-wife team Sandeep and Nalini Agarwal launched the US business in Princeton, New Jersey, in 2008, and their products are handcrafted there by fifth-generation ghee-makers using cream from grass-fed dairy herds.

Ghee is the heart of the line. The flagship cultured ghee is made by churning naturally cultured cream before clarifying, and the range extends to infused ghees flavored with garlic, Herbes de Provence, or a chai-like digestive spice blend, a Coffee++ creamer that blends ghee with MCT oil, and classical Ayurvedic medicated ghees such as ashwagandha ghee, prepared by traditional methods rather than by stirring powder into ghee.

Beyond ghee, Pure Indian Foods makes a deep pantry of certified organic Indian and Ayurvedic foods. There are organic spices, including Kashmiri saffron, green cardamom, curry leaves, a CCF digestive tea blend, and a notably strong asafoetida, alongside Ayurvedic herb powders like amla and ashwagandha, fermented garlic and raw mango pickles, a tamarind date chutney, two-year-aged Himalayan basmati rice, and a 21st Century Chyawanprash herbal jam made from roughly thirty ingredients.
