Lakadong Turmeric is a premium variety of turmeric grown in the pristine hills of Meghalaya, India, known for its exceptionally high curcumin content (7–12%), which gives it superior anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It has a rich golden-yellow color, an earthy aroma, and a warm, slightly bitter flavor, making it ideal for health drinks, cooking, and skincare remedies.
At Farm Ayurveda, we source authentic Lakadong Turmeric directly from tribal farmers using sustainable and traditional farming methods. This potent turmeric variety is an Ayurvedic powerhouse that supports immunity, digestion, joint health, and overall wellness naturally and effectively.
Lakadong Turmeric has been cultivated for generations in the Lakadong village of Jaintia Hills, Meghalaya. The indigenous tribes of the region have long valued it not only for culinary purposes but also as a sacred herb in traditional healing practices. Over time, its therapeutic potential gained national and global recognition, especially for its high curcumin levels, distinguishing it from other turmeric varieties.
