Turmeric Fingers are the lateral branches of the rhizome, prized for their higher curcumin content and aesthetic appearance, making them ideal for high-end grinding. Turmeric Bulbs (the central part) are more fibrous and often more affordable, frequently used for industrial extraction or budget-friendly spice blends. At Ekaksh International, we offer both polished and unpolished varieties depending on your processing needs.
The surge in global demand is driven by turmeric’s active compound, curcumin, known for its potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Beyond traditional culinary use, international industries are sourcing Indian turmeric for:
- Nutraceuticals: For immunity-boosting supplements and anti-inflammatory capsules.
- Functional Foods: In the "Clean Label" movement for natural food coloring (replacing synthetic dyes) and health beverages like turmeric lattes.
- Cosmetics: For its antibacterial and skin-brightening properties in organic skincare formulations. At Ekaksh International, we supply varieties like Lakadong and Alleppey, which are specifically prized for these high-potency applications.
Yes. To meet the stringent microbial limits of the European and North American markets, we offer both Steam Sterilization (non-chemical) and Ethylene Oxide (ETO) Treatment. These processes ensure that the Total Plate Count (TPC), Yeast, and Mold are within safe limits without compromising the natural aroma or curcumin potency of the turmeric.
For nutraceuticals, we recommend a minimum of 5% curcumin. Our Alleppey or Lakadong varieties are the gold standard for this application.
We source directly from farmers and conduct mandatory heavy-metal testing in NABL-accredited labs to ensure lead levels are well below 2.5 ppm.
We maintain a strict Zero-Adulteration Policy. Every batch of turmeric, whether finger or powder, undergoes mandatory testing in NABL-accredited laboratories for artificial colours (like Metanil Yellow and Sudan Dye) and heavy metals.
