Lakadong Turmeric | High Curcumin (8–12%) & Harvest Story

Grown in the sacred hills of Meghalaya, Lakadong turmeric is harvested in rhythm with the sun, the seasons, and ancestral ritual — preserving its prana from earth to root.

MEGHALAYA — मेघालय — “ABODE OF CLOUDS.”

Home to the village of Lakadong in the West Jaintia Hills, where our turmeric is grown by tribal farming families who have tended this land for generations.

The Magical Land

There is still a place on this planet that remains pristine and largely untouched. Blessed with abundant rain, Meghalaya is known as one of the wettest regions on Earth, a landscape of lush green forests, mineral-rich soil, and high altitude. These conditions allow Lakadong turmeric to reach its fullest expression — with a naturally high curcumin content no other variety in the world can match.

The People & The Herb Of The Sun

Here, farming follows the ancient rituals: sown by hand, tended by hand, harvested by hand. The communities follow a matrilineal system — women are the guardians of their family land, caring for their crops as they would their children. Named for the village of Lakadong, our turmeric glows with the color of the rising sun. We call it the herb of the sun.

From The Sacred Hills To You

Freshly lifted rhizomes are washed in flowing river water and returned once more to the sun. Then begins the slower path we refuse to shortcut: sliced by hand, sun-dried on the hillside, stone ground. No extracts. No preservatives. No additives. It is this unhurried process that preserves the prana — from the sacred hills into your daily ritual.
