When people think of turmeric, they often picture the bright yellow spice found in every kitchen. But hidden in the lush hills of Meghalaya grows a rare variety that stands apart from the rest—Lakadong Turmeric. Celebrated for its vibrant colour, rich aroma, and naturally high curcumin content, it has earned a reputation as one of India's most exceptional agricultural treasures.
At Pritambara, we source authentic Lakadong Turmeric directly from the farmers who have cultivated it for generations, ensuring that every jar carries the purity and heritage of its place of origin.
Grown in the Hills of Meghalaya
Lakadong Turmeric is cultivated in the pristine Jaintia Hills of Meghalaya, where fertile soil, abundant rainfall, and a cool climate create the perfect environment for this remarkable crop.
Unlike mass-produced turmeric grown in large commercial farms, Lakadong is carefully cultivated on small family-owned farms using traditional agricultural practices that respect both nature and the land.
Naturally Rich in Curcumin
One of the defining characteristics of Lakadong Turmeric is its naturally high curcumin content—the active compound responsible for turmeric's deep golden colour and many of its beneficial properties.
Its rich concentration gives the spice a stronger flavour, brighter colour, and exceptional quality compared to ordinary turmeric varieties.
Harvested with Care
Every harvest is timed carefully to ensure the rhizomes reach full maturity before being collected. After harvesting, they are cleaned, traditionally processed, and dried under controlled conditions to preserve their natural oils, aroma, and nutritional value.
This attention to detail allows the turmeric to retain its authentic flavour and vibrant appearance.
