Turmeric

High-curcumin gold — boiled, sun-dried, polished and pure.

Our turmeric is harvested at maturity, boiled to set the curcumin, sun-dried to bring down moisture, then polished to that deep golden finish. Single-origin, lab-tested, and shipped whole or finely milled to order.

Origin & craft

From the hills to your shelf

Turmeric earned Kerala its place on the ancient spice route long before pepper made it famous. We source from farmer collectives in Wayanad and the Erode belt, choosing varieties — Salem, Alleppey Finger, Erode — that consistently test above 3.5% curcumin.

Rhizomes are boiled the same day they're dug, sun-dried for two to three weeks, then polished and graded. Whole fingers ship as-is; powders are milled fresh and packed in food-grade kraft or your private-label retail pouches.
