Turmeric is like no other spice.
This golden powder, ubiquitous in Indian kitchens and many Asian cuisines is
also an incredible health and beauty giver.
There are more than 130 known
different varieties of turmeric but there is only one, that is the best. This
turmeric grows nowhere else in the world except in tiny Lakadong village and
its surrounding areas in Jaintia Hills district of Meghalaya, in North-eastern
India – That’s why it is called Lakadong turmeric.
Turmeric’s amazing health
benefits lay in its bioactive phytochemical components such as polysaccharides,
curcuminoids and essential oils like curcumol and curdione. But what gives
turmeric its wide-spectrum therapeutic properties and it’s bright yellow hue is
