We can hardly believe that our book It Starts With Food will be on bookstore shelves next week! But don’t worry, you still have time to get the pre-order price of less than $18 on Barnes & Noble or Amazon. And if you order today, you can enter to win our most GHEE-LICIOUS prize package yet.

Our friends at Pure Indian Foods are offering up some deliciously savory goods for those of you who pre-order your copy of It Starts With Food today (Friday, June 8th), and a special coupon code for all Whole9 readers.

Today we are giving away a Pure Indian Foods prize pack – including organic ghee, their new cultured ghee, and coconut  oil  – worth over $100!

Pure Indian Foods’ ghee, a Whole30 Approved food, is organic and comes from pastured, 100% grass-fed cows, and is made from milk obtained only during the spring and fall when the cows are on the pasture eating rapidly growing fresh, green grass.

This week, Pure Indian Foods has launched the world’s first grass-fed, certified organic cultured ghee, which we are featuring in our prize pack.  One of the traditional processes of making ghee involves culturing cream before churning it into butter and then clarifying into ghee. Pure Indian Foods Grass-fed Organic Cultured Ghee is made by following this age-old and time-honored practice. The result is a delightfully aromatic ghee with a slight tangy flavor characteristic of naturally cultured foods. 

Your Pure Indian Foods Prize Pack includes:

• One 28.8 oz jar of Grass-fed Organic Ghee
• One 14 oz jar of Grass-fed Organic Cultured Ghee
• One 14.5 oz jar of Organic Virgin Coconut Oil 
• One Assorted Sampler Pack of 6 x 3.9 oz Spiced Ghee 
• Free shipping within the US.
