Operations
Operating out of Princeton Junction, New Jersey, Pure Indian Foods procures cream sourced from free-range dairy herds within New Jersey.[4] The company utilizes non-homogenized milk during spring and autumn seasons when grass growth enhances levels of fat-soluble vitamins and Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA).[5] Their ghee production involves clarifying butter by removing milk solids and water, offering several varieties such as digestive, garlic, herbes de provence, Indian dessert, Italian, and Niter Kebbeh.[3][5]
Products
In addition to classic ghee, oils, and spices, Pure Indian Foods provides specialized items designed for particular applications:
- Coffee++: a formulation combining MCT oil with grass-fed ghee intended for use in oiled coffee preparation.[6]
- Brahmi Ghee: made by blending cultured organic grass-fed ghee with organic Brahmi herb to support memory enhancement and promote restful sleep when mixed into warm water.[7]
- Indian Dessert Ghee: infused with flavors such as fennel, cardamom, and saffron.[8]
- Ayurvedic Foods: features herbal coffee supplements, organic mung dal, ayurvedic ghee varieties, and organic teas formulated to harmonize bodily elements.
