About Dakini Foods and how it manufactures plant-based butters:
Dakini Foods has been around in India for a while. In February 2010 the Company was bought over by Indian entrepreneurs following the transfer of
sophisticated technology that allows healthy plant-based butters to be manufactured in commercial quantities with the use of
ZERO food additives. Using a very special procedure, the nuts and seeds are first roasted to appropriate degrees after which the machine splits them from the middle and grinds them till the oil separates. The oil is then removed and the nuts and seeds are ground further till they acquire a creamy-smooth texture. The butter is packed in glass bottles. Glass, in contrast to plastic increases the shelf life of any product, in this case the butter, allowing it to stay unspoilt upto
three years without preservatives or refrigeration.
Availability of Dakini plant-based butters:
Before February 2010, butter from Dakini Foods were available only in the tourist cities of India; however post February 2010, the Company is on a war footing to align with distributers all over the country. The products have hit the market; if you want to find out the stores in your city at which they are available, you can call Company Representative

Endnote:
Nature has gifted the human race with great powers of creation. However, the twist in the tale is that Nature has also provided us the element of ‘Choice’. It is upon us to
choose to channelize our ingenuity in positive ways bringing peace and well-being to all inhabitants of Planet Earth. Conversely, humans can also choose to use their ingenuity for ‘negative pursuits’ simply qualified as those that bring terror, fear, and dread in the lives of millions of non-human sentient beings. Often such pursuits are driven by the greed for money or simply because of uncompassionate conditioning.
Businesses such as Dakini Foods choose to utilize technology in a manner that does not cause any creature of air, land, or sea harm, whatsoever. Such businesses also give us an opportunity to see the
merit in plant-based food habits. By supporting such companies we get an opportunity to resister our allegiance to compassionate businesses in the society.
“In the final analysis, of course, all of us are destined to die. The mortality rate is still 100%, one per person. So the most important question, to me, is not just how long we live but also how well we live. When we look back on our lives, how much distress did we cause? How much suffering did we help alleviate? How much love did we give, and how much did we receive? How many people did we help? These are profoundly spiritual questions; as such, they are often the most meaningful. To the degree we can change our diets, we may be able to enhance our health, enjoy our lives more fully, and reduce the suffering in our wake. We face a spectrum of choices every day; it's not all or nothing. You may not want to give up eating animal protein or fatty foods completely, but you may be able to consume them less frequently if you understand the benefits of cutting back, how quickly they may occur, and how far-reaching they may be.” ~Dr. Dean Ornish, M.D., Harvard Medical School~
