Golden Lakadong Turmeric: Single-Origin from the Jaintia Hills
Lakadong is a turmeric cultivar grown in the Jaintia Hills of Meghalaya, widely reported at 7-12% curcumin against the 2-3% typical of commodity turmeric. Curcumin is what makes turmeric yellow, so you can see the difference before you taste it: the color is deep, almost burnt orange, and it stains everything it touches.
The flavor follows the color: warm, earthy, faintly peppery, without the dusty flatness of supermarket turmeric. You use noticeably less.
Single-origin and traceable to the region it came from. Nothing else in the jar.
Good in: golden milk, curries and dals, roasted vegetables, rice, marinades, eggs. Pair it with pepper and a little fat for the classic golden milk flavor.
Lab Tested: 8.03% curcumin

I would recommend this product to family and friends
Love the Golden Lakadong Tumeric especially in the JAR because it makes it easy to use daily. Great Healthy Product!!
I love this product. The turmeric is vibrant and is the star of the show in our Mango Turmeric Sea Moss gel. I really like all the products from this small business so far, and love the sleek, recyclable packaging used for refills. 10 out of 10, I highly recommend!
This turmeric is one of my go to in my kitchen! I use it when making scrambled tofu, add it to my hummus dressing for an extra boost, and of course, it’s a must for all my favorite Indian dishes. The quality, color, and flavor are outstanding — you can really tell the difference compared to regular store-bought turmeric. It adds a warm, earthy depth to every dish and makes me feel good knowing I’m getting all the natural benefits turmeric has to offer. Highly recommend!
Huge boost to my golden milk recipe. The color and taste are stunning.
