About Indian Turmeric

India has a rich history of cultivating and using turmeric, dating back over 4,000 years. Widely believed to have originated in Southeast Asia, India remains the largest producer and exporter of turmeric, with its roots deeply embedded in cultural practices, Ayurvedic medicine, and culinary traditions. The taste of Indian turmeric is distinctively earthy, slightly bitter, and peppery, with a subtle warmth, making it a cornerstone in Indian and South Asian cuisines.

The originality of Indian turmeric lies in its diverse varieties, with the most well-known being the “Alleppey” and “Erode” turmeric, which are prized for their rich color and high curcumin content. Turmeric is used not only as a spice but also as a dye and in traditional remedies, showcasing its versatility. Globally, India dominates the turmeric export market, supplying over 80% of the world’s demand, with major export destinations including the U.S., the Middle East, and Europe. This global presence highlights its immense importance in both culinary and health industries worldwide.
