Pure Indian Foods Organic Ghee Lip Balm

Pure Indian Foods

In 1889, Lala Khoobram Agarwal, Sandeep's great-great-grandfather, launched a pure ghee business in the Haryana region of Northern India. The family ghee shop still operates to this day.

In 1994, Sandeep immigrated to the U.S. and began a life here, with Nalini following in 1997 after their marriage in India. Sandeep worked in the tech and finance sectors. However, after working on Wall Street in New York for many years, Sandeep did not find satisfaction in his work.

Inspired by his family values and with a desire to continue his family tradition, he left his hi-tech job, and in 2008, Sandeep and Nalini launched their homemade ghee manufacturing business in New Jersey, calling it Pure Indian Foods. 

Pure Indian Foods is one of the most respected organic ghee companies in North America. Pure Indian Foods brought the Ayurveda Ghrita concept to a culinary level by introducing unique herb and spiced ghee products sold as food, which has been recognized by The New York Times.

Today, the Agarwal family continues to build upon their proud heritage by focusing on quality and not on quantity. Each batch of ghee is still lovingly made by hand.

The Pure Indian Foods brand today, reaches far beyond just ghee to encompass family recipes and treasured family spice blends; homemade condiments, chutneys, and sauces; the highest quality cold-pressed oils; and an entire line of carefully curated rare and exotic organic spices. No matter what you find at Pure Indian Foods, you can be sure it's of the highest quality.

We aim to offer great tasting grass-fed organic ghee products at reasonable prices that will help ghee achieve the same sacred superfood status in the U.S. which it has enjoyed in the Indian tradition for millennia.

We are also committed to sourcing and creating products that generate income for small communities all over the world. We want to produce products in a way that is sustainable for both our environment and the people in it. What better way to do this than through advocating for the purest food available?

Sustainability starts from the ground up. Literally. When it comes to our ghee, it starts with nutrient-rich soil, free of fertilizers and pesticides that grow luscious green grass for the cows to graze on. Sun, soil, clean water, and a cow turn organic grass into organic milk, which we then turn into organic ghee (which we like to call sunshine in a jar). The nutrients from the soil are pulled into the grass, which gets eaten by the cow, which transfers to the milk, which is then consumed by you!

Being sustainable means considering every step of production. This is why we also work closely with small family farmers both in the U.S. (for milk for our ghee products) and in India (for our organic spices and herbs). In order to keep bringing you high-quality organic products, we know it's important to do our part in creating sustainable economies and markets for small farmers to share their products. With every purchase from Pure Indian Foods, you're helping small farmers continue to stay in business.
