This variety of turmeric, known for its exceptionally high curcumin content, is a highly sought-after spice with significant commercial value. Curcumin, the active compound responsible for turmeric's health benefits, in this turmeric ranges between 7% to 12%, which is much higher than the 3-4% typically found in other turmeric varieties. This potent curcumin content contributes to its growing global recognition and demand. Sourced directly from the village of Mulieh, located near Lakadong in the foothills of the West Jaintia Hills in Meghalaya, Turmeric powder is renowned for its purity and quality. The region is known for producing some of the highest quality turmeric in India, with curcumin content exceeding 7.5%. The turmeric is harvested with care and processed to retain its natural properties, making it a prized ingredient in both culinary and medicinal uses. In addition to its high curcumin content, the turmeric's visual characteristics also speak to its authenticity. The color of genuine turmeric powder is a fluorescent deep orange to bright yellow, a color test often used to check the quality of the product. Although color tests can sometimes be tricky, purchasing from trusted and reputable sellers reduces the likelihood of receiving counterfeit products. This turmeric’s rich color and high curcumin levels make it a valuable commodity for various applications, including cooking, skincare, and traditional medicine. Its exceptional quality and health benefits continue to make it a favored choice worldwide.
