How Rani Foods Started...

Established in 1979 in a small grocery store in Culver City, CA by the name of Bharat Bazaar. I was 3 years old when my parents opened this shop and literally grew up in this business. I, and by that translating to Rani, was founded on a passion for quality, value and health. Working in close partnership with our suppliers enables us to offer the freshest highest quality ingredients at a superior value. We have never cut corners, always insisting on the higher quality, higher grade.

We built a brand on trust, a trust that our customers have been giving us for over 40 years. Our products are sourced from family farms, cleaned, ground & packaged in the same facility for the highest quality control and hygiene. We go around the world to bring you the exotic flavors of India & surrounding South Asian flavors.

About us

Rani Brand, what makes us different makes us better! Unlike other companies that use co-packers, we directly import from our own factories in India, lab test and package our ingredients to ensure quality, consistency and the best flavors. We are also one of the largest wholesale suppliers of Indian Food products in the U.S. and are trusted by hundreds of the nation’s top ethnic retailers.

Did you know most products sold in the U.S. go through 3-7 different supply chains before they are sold to you? This means a higher cost and product that is older by the time it reaches you, the end consumer. We are the manufacturer, distributor & retailer of Rani Brand products. Our single vertical supply chain allows us to offer the best value and freshness, making Rani Brand Products one of a kind

Not Pure Asafetida - not even close
This product is not what the label says. Real asafetida (Hing) would "stink" up the entire house, if you opened the package. The reason I use this term "stink" is because to someone who is not used to the culinary use of this spice or to Indian/Persian cuisine, the smell of asafetida would be overwhelming. I cannot describe the aroma other than "stink"- and sometimes referred to as "stinking gum". The name contains the description of its smell ("fetid"). I did not like the smell of raw Hing till I started cooking with it myself.This one has no aroma at all. The bottle tells you "whole", but actually each of those globules is 90% some sort of flour or binding agent. Real Hing is soft. I couldn't break these on a mortar-pestle. Since the binding agent is sort of a flour (wheat, I think), when I added these broken pieces to the tempering oil, they simply caked up. Hing is a resin and usually soft when fresh. It pops into a flowery look when put in hot oil. So, whatever they are selling, it ain’t "Whole Hing".
