Why Our Turmeric Powder is Richer in Curcumin and Flavor

Turmeric powder by Organic Mandya is more than just a spice; it's emblematic of community farming, helping to maintain soil health and the authenticity of spices. Our cooperative endeavors support the farmers of Karnataka state, many of whom have been growing turmeric for generations. For them, turmeric is not just an agricultural commodity; it is a part of their cultural inheritance. 

Our farmers build fertile land with organic compost, crop rotation, and methods free from chemical interference, ensuring that each rhizome grows naturally potent, without synthetic boosters. We are absolutely committed to purity and to working with farmers who respect their soil, crops, and customers. 

The Farm Sourcing Story: Why Location Matters

The secret behind the high curcumin levels found in our organic turmeric powder lies in the soil conditions and methods of cultivation. 

  • Soil-Rich Areas: Turmeric is sourced mostly from Mandya and its surrounding areas, a region of rich, high-fertility soil with a high percentage of organic matter content. 

  • Time of harvesting: The rhizomes should be harvested 9 to 10 months post-planting when there is vigorous plant growth. They should be harvested only when they are fully mature. 

  • Sun-drying for the Natural Aroma: After harvesting, turmeric is cleaned and put under the sunlight. Sunlight brings its bright color without artificial means and without losing aroma. 

With the coming together of all these factors, we have been able to source high-curcumin turmeric, which translates into a richer culinary flavor to the diet, while also adding health benefits.

Lab-Tested Purity and Richness of Curcumin 

Integrity, we believe, is best demonstrated. Therefore, we conduct rigorous testing on each batch of turmeric powder we produce.

The lab report bears witness to our claims:

  • High Curcumin Content: Our turmeric has over 4.5% curcumin, higher than the market average of 2-3%.

  • Chemical-Free Guarantee: There are no pesticide residues and no artificial colors or preservatives.

  • Heavy Metal Content: Our turmeric is certified safe for consumption with no traces of lead or adulteration.

  • Authenticity: We sell 100% pure turmeric powder, with no starch or fillers.

Importance of High Curcumin Content in Turmeric

Curcumin is the yellow coloring compound found in turmeric, and its higher concentration gives enhanced flavor, stronger color, and added health benefits. 

Some benefits of turmeric powder are:

  • Immunity support – helps fight infections and boosts natural defences.

  • Anti-inflammatory properties- helpful in joint problems and inflammation.

  • Well digested- maintains good gut health and reduces bloating.

  • Healing nature- known for ages to be the treatment for wounds and skin problems. 

Does high-curcumin organic turmeric powder mean better taste in your food and added wellness? Yes. Totally!
