LAKADONG TURMERIC
LAKADONG TURMERIC
Our rare, potent turmeric is found exclusively in the West Jaintia Hills of Meghalaya—the only place in the world where it's grown. It has a vibrant yellow-orange hue, thanks to its impressive 7.68% curcumin content, and a bold, aromatic flavor. It’s a powerful addition to your culinary creations and wellness routine.
Intercropped with ginger, potatoes, black pepper, and native oranges, it features a musky, floral aroma and notes of ginger and honey.
Its versatility is unmatched—pair it with curries, stews, rice, salad dressings, white chocolate, marinades, teas, lattes, smoothies, and more.
The exceptional potency of this turmeric comes from the unique terroir of the region—dark, acidic soil, a cool climate, and abundant rainfall. Grown elsewhere, it would lose these remarkable qualities.

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!
- SBScott B.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars20 hours agoTumeric extraordinary!
The difference between this single estate turmeric, and the others on the market is not even close. The flavor profile is fantastic. They’re a very few types of these products on the market.
- MGMarie G.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoMost fragrant and best tasting turmeric I have ever tasted.
Strong robust smell and taste. The instant you open the jar, you can smell the difference from other turmeric spices. It only takes a little pinch, to add a big flavor notes to your food. From smoothies to curries, this special fresh turmeric is the best I have ever tried.
- SSandyaVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars4 weeks agoUnlike any turmeric you'd had before
Wow! That is all I could say when I first smelled Koshna's Lakadong Turmeric. I had no idea turmeric could even smell like this: rich, floral, bright, sweet, slightly creamy, with a mild hint of earth on the finish. The flavors are so fresh and pure when bloomed in oil, used in dals, fried potatoes, okra stir fry, and on and on. I bet this would make the most amazing (vegan) golden milk, too. I even used it in desserts such as when I want a richer golden color in homemade lemon curd. Unlike other turmeric, Koshna's has no bitter or acrid flavor -- just gorgeous, complex flavor that enhances anything you add it to.
