Curcuma longa L. Zingiberaceae Rhizome or underground stem
The dried rhizome of a herbaceous plant, turmeric is closely related to ginger. The spice is also sometimes called
'Indian saffron' thanks to its brilliant yellow colour. Indian turmeric has been known to the world since ancient times.
Several unique properties of Indian turmeric make it the ideal choice as a food flavour, an effective ingredient in
medicines and cosmetics, and as a natural colourant. With its rich curcumin content, which imparts the distinctive
yellow colour, and other inherent qualities, Indian turmeric is considered the best in the world. Some of our
well-accepted varieties are: 'Alleppey Finger' and 'Erode turmeric' (from Tamil Nadu), 'Rajapore' and 'Sangli turmeric'
(from Maharashtra) and 'Nizamabad Bulb' (from Andhra Pradesh). We also export turmeric in powder form (Curcumin)
and as oleoresin.
