Appreciate the feedback! It's on our to-do list :)

Yes! Good suggestion.

You can see it on each product page on the last picture (ex: https://thebuttermilkco.com/collections/singles/products/khi...)

Thank you! I had the same experience with subscription models which is why we've made Buttermilk different. Hope you enjoy!

Yes! We are also working on all-organic ingredients.

That's awesome! We don't have international shipping on our near horizon but hopefully will be able to, soon!

Yes, definitely! There is a lot of testing that goes into each recipe before we turn it into a product.

I understand your concern, and we're very careful to not cross-contaminate. All of our products are vegan and the only dishes that are NOT gluten-free are khichdi, upma, and our rices. We use our own kitchen appliances and actually cook the gluten-free and non-gluten-free dishes on separate days to ensure that we're being careful. You're right, these are great for trips!

Thank you! We still have detailed nutrition information available on each product page (see pictures).

That's a really great suggestion, hopefully we can do that in the future!

That's a great suggestion -- you might be reading our minds here at Buttermilk HQ ;) Follow us for updates on this!

Thank you for the support! Being a strict vegetarian myself I understand the concern. We operate out of a shared kitchen space, so other clients in the space make a variety of dishes which include meat, wheat, and nuts. We use our own kitchen utensils, dishes, pots/pans, etc to avoid contamination as much as possible. Maybe one day we can share a video of a "day in the life" of our kitchen staff to show you, but rest assured that we take it very seriously to not cross-contaminate :) Per FDA regulations, we must include that information on our packaging.

Thank you!

Love that you have experience in the Indian food space! I do appreciate the concern and would be happy to chat more if you'd like, to learn more about your findings.

Thank you so much for the feedback!

That's a good point! Our products are created as a single serving per packet, so when you purchase our pre-made packs we specify how many meals you can make out of that pack to help users out.

That's a fair point, but also not the only demographic. When the options are either eat at an Indian restaurant or make it yourself, you come up against issues of overspending on time or money. There's a large population of people who enjoy Indian food, live near restaurants, could even make it themselves if they want to, but would rather get a quick, tasty meal that tastes homemade for the same amount of money and effort as a microwave meal.

Appreciate the support :)

That's a good point -- customers definitely react to our spice levels differently. We use authentic, family recipes so people not used to spice sometimes have a hard time. We're exploring adding a lower spice option for each product, so hopefully soon!

I would also say that food from any region of India is Indian food, and you can further specify what type of Indian food by direction (i.e. South/North) or region (i.e. Gujurati/Rajastani/Tamil).

Sorry for the confusion! I meant to specify that the traditional spices like you mentioned contain sodium, not salt. We include red and green chillies, homemade garam masala, ginger, etc. all of which add up to increased amounts of sodium in the product. We are working on lowering sodium in each product while maintaining the taste and flavor.

Happy to hear! Thanks for the feedback :)

As a matter of fact, yes :)

Thank you!

Totally understand. I'm working on figuring out a better solution to gel packs for this exact reason.

Our daal is extremely Gujurati tasting! If you have a recipe you don't see, feel free to submit it here: https://thebuttermilkco.com/pages/submit-a-recipe

Thanks for the suggestion! We've had quite a few customers use this for camping and hiking, although it's not as flexible for longer trips since it needs to stay refrigerated or frozen.

Thank you! It's definitely hard to get right, but we're happy that so far we seem to be doing the job well! Even my dad (a very harsh critic when it comes to authentic Indian food) is a fan!

Thank you! Appreciate the support.

Thank you!! I "fondly" remember IG as well :)

That is a good suggestion -- we've actually been talking about that internally recently and will revisit it.

Thank you for your feedback!

- We changed our product page design recently to move descriptions to a different part of the page and will definitely look into redesigning it! - We find that pre-built packs are helpful for people who can't choose or want to try a bunch of different ones. You can also purchase the individual products here: https://thebuttermilkco.com/collections/singles

Thank you for pointing that out! We will review and update accordingly.
