📍 Jaintia Hills, Meghalaya

Farmer of the Jaintia (Pnar) tribe hand-harvesting Lakadong turmeric — a tradition passed down through generations.

🏅 Protected Status
Only turmeric from East & West Jaintia Hills can legally be called "Lakadong Turmeric" — like Champagne from France.

Born in the Sacred Hills of Meghalaya

Deep in the Jaintia Hills of Meghalaya, where two rivers meet and ancient forests stand tall, grows the world's most extraordinary turmeric. Lakadong Turmeric has been cultivated by tribal communities for over a century, its wisdom passed down through generations of women farmers.


Scientists from Harvard University have recognized its unparalleled curcumin concentration — the highest of any turmeric variety on Earth. The unique combination of black acidic soil, monsoon rainfall, and high altitude creates a terroir that simply cannot be replicated anywhere else in the world.

Why Curcumin Matters

Curcumin is the molecule behind turmeric's anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and medicinal properties. The higher the concentration, the more potent and effective the turmeric — which is why Lakadong commands premium prices globally.

🔬 Harvard University Recognition Scientists at Harvard recognized Lakadong's potential in cell repair and combating diseases including cancer, due to its extraordinary curcumin levels.

Our Cultivation Process

From ancient seed rhizomes to your table — every step is rooted in tradition, care, and zero chemicals.

📅 February – March
Seed Rhizome Selection
The finest rhizomes from the previous harvest are hand-selected as seeds. They are treated with natural organic fungicides (turmeric paste + wood ash) to prevent disease without any chemicals.
1
2
📅 March – April
Land Preparation
Farmers clear forest plots, remove weeds and brush by hand. The black acidic soil is plowed and furrowed — no synthetic fertilizers ever used. Compost and organic matter enrich the soil naturally.
📅 April – May
Planting (Monsoon Sowing)
2–3 seed rhizomes are placed per pit at the onset of the monsoon season. Planted in rows with proper spacing for adequate airflow. Rain-fed cultivation with no irrigation systems — nature does the work.
3
4
📅 May – November
Growth & Tending
Plants grow over 7–9 months. Farmers regularly weed and tend the plots by hand. No pesticides, no artificial inputs. The monsoon rains and mountain air create the unique biochemistry that produces record curcumin levels.
📅 December – January
Harvest
When leaves turn yellow, rhizomes are ready. Farmers use wooden hoes to carefully dig and lift clusters. Each cluster yields 8–12 finger rhizomes. Rhizomes are gently cleaned and sorted by hand immediately after harvest.
5
6
📅 January – February
Curing & Sun Drying
Fresh rhizomes are washed and sun-dried on traditional bamboo-weaved mats called 'Shylliah' under the warm winter sun. Natural drying preserves the curcumin potency. No industrial drying machines used.
📅 February
Processing, Grading & Packaging
Dried rhizomes are stone-ground or mechanically milled in certified facilities. Graded by size, color, and curcumin content. Lab-tested before packaging. Packed in eco-friendly jute bags — no plastic ever.
