the Native Way.

At Native Bowl, our mission is to bring premium-quality, thoughtfully sourced foods to every home, promoting healthier living through traditional practices and eco-conscious choices wherever possible.

Our Story

The Native Bowl Promise

At Native Bowl, we believe wholesome food begins with honest ingredients and traditional methods.

Carefully Sourced Ingredients

Every great product begins with great ingredients. We work with trusted farmers and producers to source wholesome, high-quality ingredients that meet our standards of freshness, purity and authenticity.

Authentic Wood-Pressed Extraction

Our oils are extracted using the traditional Mara Chekku method, combining time-honoured practices with modern standards of hygiene and quality.

Packed in food-grade, opaque tins to protect the oil from oxidation, keeping the entire process plastic free and making your everyday choices more responsible.

Low-Temperature, Single-Stage Extraction

Assured Purity and Natural Goodness

No bleaching, chemical refining, unnecessary additives or preservatives. We believe food should remain as close to its natural form as possible.

From daily equipment cleaning to batch-wise quality checks, we follow careful hygiene practices. Our oils have been tested for applicable FSSAI quality parameters.

Quality You can Trust Everyday

Thoughtfully Packed for Your Home

We believe food should stay as close to nature as possible. Slow extraction at low temperatures, without reprocessing, helps preserve the natural flavour, aroma and character of every oil.

Every product we bring to your home is carefully sourced, prepared with care, preserving the authenticity, quality and goodness that nature intended.

"Built for the families we feed at home."

Native Bowl began with a simple thought — what we bring into our homes should be made with the same care we put into feeding our families.

I wanted to bring back the goodness of traditional methods while maintaining the quality and standards we value today.

What started as a thought slowly became a journey of learning, choosing carefully and paying attention to every little detail. From the ingredients we source to the way our products are made and packed, every decision is guided by one simple belief — keeping it honest, thoughtful and purposeful.

Native Bowl is my small effort to bring thoughtfully made food products into everyday homes. I hope that every product you choose from Native Bowl reflects the thought and care that went into creating it.

A Note from the Founder

Questions, answered. Frequently asked.

What is wood pressed (ghani) oil ?

Wood-pressed oils are extracted in a traditional wooden churn (ghani / chekku) at temperatures below 40°C. This slow, low-heat process retains the seed's natural nutrients, aroma, antioxidants and flavour — none of which survive industrial refining..

How long do the oils stay fresh?

Our oils are best consumed within 9 months of pressing date (printed on each bottle). Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, with the cap tightly closed.

How is it different from refined oil?

Refined oils are extracted at very high temperatures and treated with chemical solvents like hexane, then bleached and deodorised stripping nutrition and flavour. Native Bowl oils are mechanically pressed, unrefined, and bottled as nature made them.

How should I store your products?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always keep the container tightly closed after use.

Are your oils FSSAI certified and lab tested?

Yes. Our facility is FSSAI certified and our oils are independently lab-tested for purity, free fatty acids, peroxide value and absence of adulterants.
