Traditionally Handcrafted

  • Grassfed

    Made with milk obtained from spring through fall, when the cows are out on pasture eating fresh green grass. [Read more]

  • Certified Organic

    Our milk comes from cows which are never fed anything with GMOs, chemical fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides. They are never given hormones or antibiotics.

  • Nourishing

    This beautiful, nutrient-dense milk is rich in fat soluble vitamins and naturally occurring Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA).

  • Small Batch

    Still Handmade since 1889 by 5th Generation Ghee Makers

  • Delicious

    All the wonderful flavors of butter, but with the shelf life and smoke point of cooking oils. Gluten-free, clarified to remove most lactose and casein, full of healthy fats, and perfect for diets such as Paleo, Keto, and Whole30.

What is Grassfed Organic Ghee?

Grassfed Organic Ghee is butter that has been slowly cooked and clarified to remove lactose, casein, and water, leaving behind pure butterfat. Because it is made from grassfed organic milk, it naturally contains fat-soluble vitamins and a richer flavor than conventional ghee.

How This Ghee is Made

  • Organic grassfed butter is gently simmered.
  • Water evaporates and milk solids separate.
  • Milk solids are removed.
  • Pure golden butterfat remains.

This traditional slow-cooking method has been used for generations to produce stable, shelf-friendly cooking fat without additives or preservatives.

Crafted by Traditional Ghee Makers

Pure Indian Foods has been crafting ghee using traditional methods passed down through generations. Our grassfed organic ghee is produced in small batches with a focus on purity, quality, and traditional preparation.

Benefits of Grassfed Organic Ghee

  • High smoke point suitable for sautéing, frying, and baking
  • Stable fat that does not easily oxidize when heated
  • Naturally free of gluten
  • Compatible with Paleo, Keto, and Whole30 diets
  • Rich, buttery flavor enhances savory and sweet dishes

How to Use Grassfed Organic Ghee

  • Sauté vegetables or meats
  • Roast vegetables at high heat
  • Bake as a butter substitute
  • Finish cooked dishes for flavor
  • Traditional cooking and frying

Common Questions

How is ghee made?

Ghee is prepared by melting and simmering butter until all the water evaporates and the milk solids settle at the bottom. The remaining butter oil is very stable, giving it a high smoke point, which makes it an excellent choice to use for frying and sautéing. It can be stored without refrigeration for up to a year.

Is this ghee good for high-heat cooking?

Yes. Grassfed organic ghee has a high smoke point, making it suitable for sautéing, frying, roasting, and baking.

Does this ghee need refrigeration?

No. Ghee is shelf-stable when stored in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly closed.

What makes grassfed ghee different?

Grassfed ghee comes from cows raised on pasture, which produces butter with a richer flavor and naturally occurring fat-soluble nutrients.

What does "made with non-homogenized milk" mean?

Homogenization is a process that breaks up fat globules in milk or cream to such a small size that they remain suspended evenly rather than separating out and floating to the surface. We use non-homogenized milk to make our ghee.

How do I open the jar?

We use this specific type of jar lid so that ghee can safely be shipped over long distances without leaking and also keep a strong seal for long-term storage. However, these lids easily release with heat, as they have a temperature reactive seal. You can try the following to open the jar:

  1. Run under hot water (or immerse lid upside-down in hot water) until seal releases
  2. Heat lid briefly on stove until seal releases. Use a towel to protect your hand from heat when opening the jar. (See video.)
  3. Use a rubber grip.
  4. Use a butter knife and slip it under the lid to release the vacuum.

How do I keep my ghee fresh / avoid contamination?

Always use a clean and dry spoon when scooping ghee out of the jar. Do not introduce moisture or contaminants into the jar, which can produce mold.

Is my ghee texture normal?

Ghee Texture videos:
Why My Ghee is Liquid or Grainy

Traditional Ghee Texture - What's Normal?

Is my ghee texture normal? How do I change the texture?

Ghee contains many fatty acids with different melting points, which allows it to exist at many different textures, even at the same temperature. Grainy/Gritty, Solid, Creamy, and Liquid are all normal textures of traditionally made ghee.

When we make small batches, we pour the ghee into the jars when it is still liquid, close the lids, and then leave the jars to cool on a flat surface. Due to the variety of fatty acids in ghee, ghee that cools more rapidly, becomes more solid texture. Ghee that is cooled more slowly retains a softer or even completely liquid texture. What this means in practice is that the ghee at the edges of a batch are more solid, and the ghee jars in the center are more liquid. This only affects texture, but there is no effect whatsoever on the taste, quality and shelf-life of the ghee.

Ghee is primarily used either as a cooking fat or as a spread on warm foods. In both of these cases, this grainy, runny or separated texture disappears in a matter of seconds. For example, someone who has never seen crystallization of honey in the winter may consider it as a product defect. Upon further investigation we will find that it is perfectly normal.

It is a simple matter to alter the texture of your traditional ghee to something more your preference. We provide a tutorial on how to do this, since many of our customers prefer one texture over another.

Watch Video

First you will need to melt the ghee. You may do so by removing it from the jar, melting in a small pan and then pouring back in the jar. Alternatively, you can fill a pot with hot water and submerge tightly closed ghee jar in it to melt the ghee. Keep the water level below the lid. The idea is to melt the ghee completely until it is liquid.

To make a solid or creamy ghee—after the ghee is melted, immediately place the jar in the refrigerator to rapidly cool, and leave overnight. (Do not freeze.) Take the jar out of the refrigerator the next day and leave it on the counter-top. Depending on the ambient temperature of the room, the ghee may be more solid or more creamy at room temperature.

To make a grainy ghee—instead of refrigeration, cool your ghee more slowly by placing the melted ghee on the countertop and covering with a kitchen towel to cool overnight. The result should be a ghee with a more grainy texture, which you can then close with a lid and leave at room temperature.

Is ghee dairy-free?

Ghee is made from butter and contains milk, but most lactose and casein are removed during the clarification process.

People who have dairy intolerance can generally consume ghee since ghee has only traces of casein (a type of milk protein) and lactose (milk sugar) which some people find difficult to digest. Unless a person is very sensitive, consuming ghee is safe for those with dairy issues, unlike butter.

For our customers with true dairy allergies, we go one step further - we batch test our Cultured Ghee (and products using cultured ghee). We are happy to report that our Cultured Ghee is batch-tested gluten-free, lactose batch-tested to contain no more than 0.25%, and casein and whey batch-tested to be 2.5 ppm or less.

How much ghee can I have daily?

The amount of ghee you consume daily must be based on personal preference. We believe our ghee to be completely safe and health promoting. However, if you are concerned about adding fats to your daily menu, please consult a qualified health care practitioner or nutritionist to help you decide the appropriate amount for your individual needs. In general, eating a well-balanced diet including a wide variety of foods, both local and seasonal is a time-honored, health-building practice. Our ghee is very flavorful; adding a small amount to your food goes a long way in making your meals more delicious and deeply satisfying.

What is the shelf life of ghee?

Always use a clean, dry spoon to scoop out ghee. Do not expose ghee to moisture.

Ghee does not stay completely fresh much longer than one year without the use of preservatives. We don’t use any preservatives in our ghee.

UNOPENED JARS: Store in a preferably dark and cool place. There is no need to refrigerate them. Use them by the “Best By Date” (about 9-12 months from the date of purchase) on the jar.

OPENED JARS: Store in your kitchen cabinet (away from light and moisture) for up to 3 months. After that you can refrigerate it for up to a year. Ghee will become hard in the refrigerator. However, it will become soft again once you take it out of the refrigerator and leave it at room temperature for some time.

If you buy a large jar of ghee and cannot finish it in 3 months, transfer some ghee from the large jar into an empty small glass jar. The small jar and the spoon used to transfer ghee should be clean and dry. The small jar should also be free of any odors. Keep this small jar of ghee in your kitchen cabinet for your daily use. Place the large jar (lid tightly closed) into the refrigerator and use it to refill the small jar when needed.

Ghee (just like butter) can be stored in the freezer if needed to extend the shelf life even further.

My ghee was delivered and sat outside in the heat. Is it still safe to use?

Your ghee is absolutely safe to use. Like any other oil (e.g. coconut oil or olive oil) or fat (e.g. lard), ghee is not required to be kept cool. It doesn’t get damaged by the heat during shipping in the summer months. Please use it with confidence the way people in India have used it for thousands of years with no electricity, refrigeration and very warm temperatures.

My ghee smells strong and/or kind of cheesy. Is it bad?

Not necessarily. Ghee oxidizes the longer it is exposed to air. Check the Best By date on the bottom of the jar. If it's still inside of the Best By date, try heating a small amount of ghee and see if the smell changes. If you see any ghee which has turned white inside the jar, scrape it out with a spatula and discard. Sometimes this all that is needed to improve the smell of the ghee in your jar which has been opened a while.

The buttery (not cheesy) smell of ghee may be stronger during the summer months when the cows are grazing on greener grasses. The flavor of the grass consumed by the cow affects the color and taste of the ghee. If you are still dissatisfied, you may contact us.

Where do you source your milk?

Milk for our ghee products comes from small family farms in the Northeast USA, California and New Zealand. Our preference is to source it closer to New Jersey as much as possible. When high-quality local supply is insufficient, we then source it from the other locations.

Why do you use grass-fed milk?

Grass-fed cows produce milk that is high in naturally occurring Vitamins A, D & K, as well as conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), an antioxidant and essential fatty acid. In addition, grass-fed ghee contains a balanced ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fats. (This ratio is around 3:1 for grass-fed animals compared to over 20:1 for grain-fed animals!) 

Do you use A2 milk?

Our ghee products are made with grass-fed cow’s milk, sourced from family farms which do not segregate by breed to get different milk. The milk may be either A1 or A2, but this doesn’t matter when it comes to ghee. We do not test for A2. However, we do have a Cultured Ghee product which undergoes testing for casein. Read more about A1/A2 on our blog.

Why is my ghee this color?

The color of ghee can vary depending on various factors, including the type of milk used, the breed of cow, and the season. For example, our ghee tends to be more deep yellow in the spring when the cows are grazing on the rapidly growing spring pastures.

In general, the color of ghee can range from pale yellow to deep orange, and it is not necessarily an indicator of its nutritional value. The color of ghee is primarily influenced by the presence of beta-carotene, which is a natural pigment found in milk from grass-fed cows. When cows graze on fresh green grass, their milk can contain higher levels of beta-carotene, which gives ghee a more yellow to orange color.

Ghee with a darker color is not necessarily less nutritious due to being cooked longer or subjected to more heat. The cooking process of ghee involves simmering butter to remove the water content and milk solids, leaving behind the pure fat. The duration and temperature of the cooking process can vary depending on the manufacturer's process, but it is not necessarily related to the color of ghee.

Some manufacturers intentionally overcook ghee to make "brown butter ghee," but this is not traditional, and we do not recommend this process.

At Pure Indian Foods, we take great care in producing our ghee using traditional methods and sourcing high-quality ingredients to ensure the best quality and nutrition. Our ghee is made from grass-fed cow's milk and is USDA certified organic, and our farmers do not segregate their cows based on breed. The color of our ghee can vary from batch to batch, but it does not affect its nutritional value or quality. Regarding color, simply avoid brown ghee from other companies, and you should be fine.

  • Absolutely LOVE this Ghee! The color is vibrant and the flavor is spectacular. It tastes so good that I can eat it alone! Especially after adding some Himalayan Pink Salt to the jar. Love it on crackers and toast.

  • My naturopathic doctor shared with me that your ghee without casein was safe (i.e., no dairy) for me to use so I bought a jar from you and am so happy to have "butter" back in my diet after two years of avoiding it. I especially enjoy the aroma as it warms in my frying pan for scrambled eggs in the morning, yum. And, as another bonus, it doesn't have to be refrigerated. I have told other people about your product as well and my son recently bought ghee for his homes. Both of us are dairy intolerant. The product arrived promptly and safely and I will be a ghee freak for the rest of my life. It's a good thing to support small business. Thank you for making an excellent product.

  • My friend Sandeep Agarwal comes from along line of Indian ghee producers, and he makes some of the best ghee I've ever had (outside of my own!) right here in the United States. His products are all organic and top of the line, including digestive ghees (made with herbs and spices), spices, jaggery, chyawanprash, Indian spice trays, and more.

I've been very happy with the Original Ghee from Sandeep and Nalini because it is super delicious, nutritious, and medicinal. Sustaining good health and well-being is directly influenced by consuming food that is digestible and beneficial to our bodies. Handmade ghee by Sandeep and Nalini is heaven. I absolutely love it! I have primarily used it for baked goods such as banana and chocolate loaves, biscuits, rolls, and flour tortillas. This morning I used it to make delicious pancakes and spread some on a slice of sourdough bread that I baked last night. YUMMY! Thank You for the deliciousness:)

Prefer this ghee to the many I have tried since the doctor advised ghee to butter. Beautiful flavor actually. Far superior to butter. Used for cooking and popcorn. I had to stop popcorn flavored with butter. Now not: ghee along with melted raw honey. Change to jar that I can open easy now at the age of 67. Shan’t be stopped from this delish treat.
