TURMERIC - All about Turmeric

There are 17 varieties of turmeric grown in India, each with its own significance. "Curcuma Longa," also known as Curry manjal, is grown in Salem, Tamil Nadu, and is commonly used for cooking. 

However, the turmeric grown in Lakadong, Meghalaya, is known as the "golden child" of turmeric and is considered to have the highest curcumin content. 

Salem turmeric is less pungent and milder than Lakadong turmeric. 

Curcumin has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can help with Inflammation, Heart health, Digestive health, and Skin health.

There are various uses of turmeric in the Bharathiya tradition, starting with usage in Food, Rituals, vegetable dyes, a potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant and a certain cure for respiratory diseases. 

At HARITHAM, we ensure to get the whole turmeric and powder for consumption as turmeric powder, bought in the market, can be adulterated using chemicals. 

To test the presence of chemicals in Turmeric powder, mix a teaspoon of Manjal (haldi) powder with water. If it settles down at the bottom and turns pale yellow, then the product is unadulterated. Adulterated ones will turn dark yellow once mixed in water.
