Varush Singh & the Guardians of Kuno | Maa Reva Vedic Food

Behind every bottle is a story of returning to one's roots. After years living abroad, Varush Singh returned to India with a mission to preserve native agricultural traditions and traditional food-making practices.

Through Maa Reva Vedic Food, he works to keep these familiar methods alive, connecting farming communities and their native crops with today's kitchens.

For over ten years, Maa Reva Vedic Food has worked alongside tribal communities surrounding Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh. These farming families bring generations of knowledge of the soil, local crops and the rhythms of the land. This partnership centres on:

  • Native Forest-Fringe Farming: Yellow mustard seeds cultivated by farming families around Kuno.
  • Direct Sourcing & Livelihood: Seeds procured directly from tribal families through a partnership that values their work and supports local livelihoods.
  • Traditional Wood-Pressing: Seed batches pressed slowly in wooden churns, keeping the lakdi ghani tradition alive.

From seed sourcing to wooden pressing, this oil brings the work of Kuno's farming communities and Maa Reva Vedic Food into the everyday Indian kitchen.
