LAKADONG TURMERIC
LAKADONG TURMERIC
A rare, potent turmeric variety grown only in West Jaintia Hills of Meghalaya—the nowhere else on the earth. Its bold, aromatic flavor and vibrant color come from an impressive 8% curcumin content.
With musky, floral aroma and notes of ginger, honey, mandarin, it adds a powerful boost to both cooking and wellness rituals.
Its exceptional potency comes from the region's unique terroir: high-altitude, monsoon-fed fields, and black-acidic soil. Grown elsewhere, it would lose its bold flavor and its naturally high curcumin content.
NAME: Lakadong — a varietal native to the Lakadong region.
ORIGIN: Umnari, Meghalaya
HARVEST: Feb 2025
"I love the freshness of this turmeric and the essential oils exuded from it is noticeably greater and more aromatic than any other turmeric I’ve ever had before." - Christina N

Starting 2025 by adding Koshna's turmeric to my morning hot lemon & honey water. In addition to all the health benefits of daily turmeric, the smell and flavor of this turmeric sets my mood to set my day. Koshna is expert at sourcing the most beneficial spices and they are helping me up my spice game in 2025!

To be honest. I had no idea how good this turmeric actually was until I went to go and use it. It is rich and well balanced and I honestly could not be happier.

I've been getting Tumeric from local Erewhon or Whole Foods even Costco in the past. My daugther participated in a Foodie event, Cherry Bomb and brought one of your Tumeric home to try. Outstanding overall quality, flavor is good. Happy to see health wise effectiveness as well for my family including our beloved dog who has inflammation. Thank you for having quality products available, we just placed an order again.
