Lakadong is India's high-curcumin turmeric: grown around Lakadong village in Meghalaya's Jaintia Hills, and protected by a Geographical Indication registration (No. 741, 2024). Our own FSSAI lab report on this crop puts it at 7.90% total curcuminoids — nearly four times the 2.0% the standard asks for. We procure it directly from hill farmers in the North-East, sun-dried and ground whole. Deep gold in colour and strong in aroma, it is traditionally valued for its immunity-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties — in haldi doodh, in kadha, or anywhere you want turmeric to carry real weight.

Why this Lakadong Turmeric Powder earns its place
नैसर्गिक लाभ · natural goodness
Curcumin you can put a number on
Most turmeric is sold without a curcumin figure at all. Ours carries one: 7.90% total curcuminoids, measured in our own FSSAI lab report on this crop, grown around one village in Meghalaya's Jaintia Hills and recognised with its own GI registration in 2024. A number backed by a report is worth more than a comparison backed by nothing.

- Deep gold colour and strong aroma with no polishing or dye
आयुर्वेद · the ayurvedic view
Old wisdom, stronger raw material
Everything Ayurveda says of haridra — warming, purifying, a daily protector — assumes potent turmeric, and Lakadong is traditionally valued for exactly that: immunity-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties. Tradition also pairs haldi with fat and black pepper, and modern understanding agrees: curcumin absorbs best with both.
- Take it the traditional way: warmed in milk or bloomed in ghee
- A pinch of black pepper helps the body absorb curcumin
- Strong in colour and aroma — start small and adjust to taste

For the cup, not just the curry
Use Lakadong where turmeric is the point: haldi doodh before bed, a golden paste for kadha, the morning turmeric-honey spoon. It cooks beautifully too — but most families keep this jar for the cup and the Sangli jar for the phodni.

Frequently asked questions
Why does Lakadong cost more than ordinary turmeric?
Because it is a different crop. Lakadong is a hill landrace grown by smallholders in one district of Meghalaya, and our lab report measures it at 7.90% curcuminoids against 3.30% for our everyday Sangli haldi. You also use less of it.
Why the black pepper?
Tradition pairs haldi with fat and black pepper, and modern understanding agrees: curcumin is fat-soluble, and a compound in pepper helps the body absorb it. A pinch is enough.
Sangli or Lakadong — which should I buy?
Sangli haldi is the everyday one: bright, earthy, right for dals, sabzis and general cooking. Lakadong is the strong one: 7.90% curcuminoids on our own FSSAI lab report, deeper colour and aroma, worth it for haldi doodh and anywhere you want turmeric to actually work. Many kitchens keep both.
What does the GI tag actually mean?
Geographical Indication registration legally ties a product name to its region of origin — turmeric sold as Lakadong is supposed to come from the Jaintia Hills, the way Darjeeling tea must come from Darjeeling. It protects both the buyer and the farming community that built the reputation.
Why does your haldi look less bright than market powder?
Because we do not polish it or add colour. Some market turmeric is buffed with polishing agents or, in the worst cases, dyed with synthetic yellows. Real unpolished haldi is a warm, earthy gold — and it colours your cooking gradually rather than instantly.
How much Lakadong should I use?
Start with less than your usual quantity and adjust — Lakadong is strong in both colour and aroma. Turmeric is fat-soluble, so it works best cooked in ghee or oil, or stirred into warm milk, with a pinch of black pepper as the traditional companion.
