Lakadong – A tiny, nondescript village at the foothills of the west Jaintia Hills in Meghalaya, is the birthplace of the world’s finest variety of Haldi. It is most favored for its high curcumin content of more than 7%, as against 2 to 3% found in regular varieties available in the market.

What is Curcumin?

Curcumin, the key active ingredient in turmeric, is a miracle compound known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and renders a bright yellow color to the spice. The higher the curcumin, the more prized the turmeric is.
