In 1889, Agarwal’s family founded a ghee business in northern India.[4][5][6][7] Agarwal and his wife established Pure Indian Foods in 2008 to continue his family business in the United States.[4][5][6] Previously, he worked as an IT specialist on Wall Street.[6][8] In 2012, the company began shipping to Canada.[7] That October, Pure Indian Foods won two awards at the American Herbalist Guild Symposium.[8] The Whole Earth Center was the first store to carry the company’s ghee.[8] In March 2015, the company created Coffee++, a MCT oil and grass-fed ghee product to make oiled coffee.[9]

Operations

Pure Indian Foods is based in Princeton Junction, New Jersey.[4] The company uses cream from free-ranging dairy herds in New Jersey for their products.[3][4][7] Additionally, Pure Indian Foods uses non-homogenized milk in the spring and fall when grass grows rapidly to give its products a high amount of fat-soluble vitamins and Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA).[10] Pure Indian Foods produces ghee, butter with the milk solids and water removed, in multiple variations including digestive, garlic, herbes de provence, Indian dessert, Italian and Niter Kebbeh.[7][10]
