Additional Information
Product Overview
Turmeric, scientifically known as Curcuma longa, is a globally recognized spice and herbal supplement used for culinary, medicinal, and cosmetic purposes. Its warm, slightly bitter flavor and vibrant yellow pigment make it indispensable in global cuisine, especially across India and Southeast Asia.
Curcumin: The Active Ingredient
Turmeric's distinct yellow color and health properties are attributed to curcumin—a polyphenol with well-documented anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Curcumin content typically ranges from 2% to 5% and is often extracted for use in dietary supplements.
Culinary and Functional Applications
In food, turmeric is used in curries, spice blends, teas, and health drinks. In wellness sectors, it's a key ingredient in joint care, digestive support, and immune-boosting supplements. Turmeric also finds applications in cosmetic formulations for its skin-calming benefits.
Cultivation & Processing
Curcuma plants grow best in tropical climates with ample sunlight and moisture. The rhizomes are harvested 7–10 months after planting, then boiled, dried, and ground into powder or sliced for export.
Global Demand & Export Suitability
Turmeric is exported globally in bulk or packaged form, often in compliance with EU, USDA, and organic certification standards. Exporters may supply it as finger turmeric, powder, or standardized curcumin extract based on buyer specifications.
