Sourced from the foothills of Meghalaya’s West Jaintia Hills, our Lakadong Turmeric is traditionally grown and handpicked by local farmers. The rhizomes are either hand-pounded in a mortar or stone-ground in a slow RPM machine to retain their natural potency. Known for its exceptionally high curcumin content, this golden spice is packed in its purest form, offering a rich colour, robust flavour, and earthy aroma. Revered in Ayurveda, it is a powerful medicinal and culinary ingredient.
Lakadong Turmeric is celebrated as India’s most powerful turmeric, containing an impressive 8.3% curcumin — nearly three times more than ordinary varieties. This exceptional potency gives it its deep golden hue and remarkable healing power, making it a true Ayurvedic superfood from the heart of Meghalaya.
The ecosystem at SONA Pure Essentials works closely with farmers, bee keepers and rural village women with a mission to deliver 100% pure and authentic products of exemplary quality directly, right at your doorstep.
