About Tembi Foods

A Heritage of Purity, Tradition & Taste

At Tembi Foods, our passion lies in bringing authentic Indian flavors to your kitchen. Through our trusted brand Tembi Masale, we offer a wide range of Handmade and Homemade products crafted applying Traditional Methods and the finest Natural Ingredients. Every product we make is a celebration of India’s culinary heritage—and a step toward a more sustainable and flavorful future.

Our Story: Home Kitchen to Trusted Brand

Founded in Latur district, in the heart of the Marathwada region of Maharashtra, Tembi Foods began with a heartfelt mission: to preserve traditional family recipes and bring the purity of Handmade, Chemical-free food to every home. What started as a small home-based effort has grown into a trusted name known for its quality, authenticity, and purpose.

Our Root

The name “Tembi” comes from Tembi Shivar, a lush agricultural landscape in our native village Nanand, Taluka Nilanga, District Latur. Known for its Natural and Organic farming, Tembi Shivar is not just our namesake—it’s our foundation. All our raw ingredients are sourced directly from the farmers of Tembi Shivar, ensuring a deep connection to Nature, Community, and Purity.

At the heart of our growth is Arpita Mahila Gruhudyog, a women’s self-help group that leads all our production efforts. Run by Skilled and dedicated Women, this initiative ensures Authentic Quality while empowering women through Sustainable Employment.

Our Philosophy: Purity, Tradition & Taste

We believe that great food begins with great values. Our mission is guided by three key pillars:

Purity: We use only the finest natural and organic ingredients—completely free from synthetic chemicals or additives.

Tradition: We honor time-tested methods like hand-cleaning, sun-drying, roasting, and low-temperature grinding.

Taste: Our commitment to purity and tradition results in vibrant, authentic, and delicious flavors.
