Bhavana Barde (Super Food Veda), A Louisville resident since 2004, started Bhavana Foods LLC, her catering company, in 2011, feeling a responsibility to introduce everyone to the goodness of Indian food. In 2018, Bhavana introduced a new product line, Super Food Veda ~ Nutrition for Mind and Body. "I am adherent to Ayurveda, an ancient Indian practice of food as medicine. It is a Sanskrit word from Ayur meaning life and Veda meaning knowledge. It is part of a lifestyle that promotes balance with yoga, meditation, and adherence to a diet rich in fruit, vegetables, whole grains, and health-enhancing spices." The University of Kentucky Food Systems Innovation Center performed shelf life studies on Super Food Veda: Ghee, Golden Milk Paste, and Khichadi.
