Lakadong Turmeric

Description

About Lakadong Turmeric

Lakadong Turmeric is a premium variety of turmeric that originates from the Lakadong village in the Jaintia Hills of Meghalaya, India. What sets it apart is its extraordinarily high curcumin content — between 7% and 12% — compared to just 2–3% in regular turmeric varieties. Curcumin is the active compound responsible for turmeric’s vibrant colour and its traditional use in Indian wellness practices.

How To Use

Use Lakadong turmeric in daily cooking — curries, dals, and rice dishes. Make golden milk (haldi doodh) by mixing with warm milk and a pinch of black pepper for enhanced curcumin absorption. Add to smoothies, soups, or face masks. Use sparingly as Lakadong turmeric is much more potent than regular varieties.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Lakadong turmeric special?

How do I know it’s genuine Lakadong turmeric?
