About Our Premium Turmeric
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial of the ginger family, native to the Indian subcontinent. India is the world's largest producer, consumer and exporter of turmeric — and as a dedicated turmeric exporter in India, UnitedSpices sources exclusively from high-curcumin growing belts in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
Our turmeric undergoes a rigorous post-harvest process: fresh rhizomes are cured through boiling, solar-dried over 10–15 days, polished, and either retained as whole finger and bulb or milled into fine powder. Every step takes place in a GMP-compliant facility that follows the same quality standards we apply across our range, including our green cardamom, black pepper, cinnamon and cloves, to preserve natural volatile oils, colour and bioactive compounds.
