Lakadong Turmeric
Lakadong turmeric is prized for its naturally high curcumin content and deep golden colour. Sourced directly from the hills of Meghalaya, it is cultivated using traditional methods and carefully processed to preserve its natural potency, aroma, and purity.
Lakadong Turmeric
Why Lakadong is different
Lakadong turmeric is known for its naturally high curcumin content — the compound responsible for turmeric's colour and health-supporting properties. While most commercial turmeric contains around 2–3% curcumin, Lakadong is naturally richer, giving it deeper colour, stronger flavour, and greater potency.
At Ashya, our turmeric is sourced from the hills of Meghalaya, carefully processed to preserve its natural oils, and lab-tested to verify purity and curcumin levels. Authentic origin. Measurable quality. Everyday wellness.
