Pure Indian Foods Organic Cultured Ghee (Grassfed)
Reader ratings
An organic ghee made from cultured butter from grass-fed cows, the kind our ghee guide suggests. The USDA lists it as organic; the grass-fed and batch-testing claims are the maker’s.
Best for Cooks who want a cultured, organic ghee for high-heat cooking and are willing to pay somewhat more for it.

How we evaluated it
Why we chose it What put it on our list
- The USDA Organic Integrity Database lists Pure Indian Foods Corporation of Burlington, New Jersey as certified (by OneCert, since 07/01/2022), with “Cultured Ghee, (Grassfed)” in its handling scope.
- It is made from cultured butter, which our ghee guide prefers. The ingredient is “grassfed organic cultured butter” from non-homogenized whole milk, and nothing else.
- Pure Indian Foods says where the milk comes from: small family farms in the Northeast USA, California and New Zealand, preferring the closest supply.
- A tablespoon (14 g) has 120 calories, 14 g of fat and 9 g of saturated fat, with no trans fat. The page shows a best-by date (10/31/2027 on the listing we read).
Trade-offs What to weigh before you buy
- Ghee is about 60% saturated fat. Our ghee guide suggests keeping it to 1 to 2 tablespoons a day and says olive oil is better studied for heart health.
- “Grassfed” is the maker’s claim, and no grass-fed certifier is named. The page says the cows eat fresh green grass “spring thru fall”, which does not say what they eat in winter. Some milk comes from New Zealand when local supply is short.
- The page says each batch is tested for gluten, lactose (no more than 0.25%) and casein and whey (no more than 2.5 ppm), but it publishes no results or lab name.
- It costs about $2.00 an ounce for the 7.5 oz jar and about $1.86 for the 14 oz. That is above Organic Valley’s ghee, which is organic but not cultured. We could not confirm the jar material.
What to know Details worth knowing first
Our ghee guide advises looking for ghee from grass-fed milk, ideally made from cultured butter, because it has more CLA, vitamins and DHA. Pure Indian Foods’ cultured ghee is made that way, and the company says its milk comes from named regions.
The independent part is the USDA record: Pure Indian Foods Corporation is certified organic, and “Cultured Ghee (Grassfed)” is in the scope of its certificate. The rest is the maker’s word. We could not find a grass-fed certifier or any published batch-test results.
It costs more than ordinary organic ghee. If price matters more than culture and grass-fed, the Organic Valley ghee is the cheaper organic choice. Either way, ghee is mostly saturated fat and works best in small amounts.

What the labels mean
- Verified We opened an independent record that confirms it: a certifier’s listing, a regulator’s list or a lab report. It is linked under Sources.
- Maker’s claim The maker says so on its own page or label. We read it but found no independent record.
- Not verified We looked and could not confirm it, or the maker does not say. Treat it as unknown.
