Lakadong Haldi (Turmeric) Powder – High Curcumin from Meghalaya

What is Lakadong Haldi (Turmeric)

Lakadong turmeric is a special variety of haldi grown in the Jaintia Hills of Meghalaya, famous for its naturally high curcumin content and deep golden colour. Compared to regular turmeric that usually has about 2–3% curcumin, Lakadong turmeric can reach around 6.8–9% curcumin, making it more potent in flavour and benefits. Our Lakadong haldi is carefully sun‑dried and traditionally ground to preserve its natural oils, aroma, and efficacy, without any added colours or artificial flavours.
