History

Turmeric has been revered in Indian culture for over 4,000 years, especially in its whole form – the turmeric finger. Ancient Ayurvedic texts and the Vedas mention turmeric as a sacred and medicinal plant used for spiritual rituals, food preservation, and healing therapies. Indian households traditionally sun-dried and stored turmeric fingers to grind fresh turmeric powder at home, ensuring purity and potency. It was also a major trade spice across Asia and Europe, known as "Indian saffron" due to its rich color and medicinal power.
