We know our farmer partners and we share the same mission. We prioritize the long-term health of the land. The land of these farmers is free from pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and insecticides.

We do this to remove the soil stuck in between the fingers. The entire lot is then soaked in clean water for about 10 minutes to loosen soil and dirt particles. One batch after another then goes into a roller-drum washer for a thorough 7 to 10 minutes roll-washing under a jet of running water. At the end of that time, the turmeric fingers come out scrubbed and cleaned. But we are not yet done. The 3-basin washes are the next steps for the rhizome pieces to come out even squeakier clean, smooth, and shining, cleared of all physical dirt. The cleaned rhizomes then go to food-grade containers to drain off the extra water. Next, they are fed to a mechanized slicer for slicing. Even as we slice the rhizomes, we savour that wafting special aroma that can only belong to pure Lakadong. A deep golden yellow colour diffuses across the workroom; the aroma that now permeates the air is so distinctive and defining. There is no mistaking the scent of freshly harvested Lakadong, the world’s best turmeric.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDrying chambers-\u003c\/strong\u003eWe keep three types of driers in place to ensure we pass this critical point: solar dryer, gas dryer, and wood-burning dryer. All three are utilized as required to quicken the drying process so that all slices become devoid of moisture within 4 hours. That will rule out fungal and other microbial growth. Besides, the temperatures inside the drying chambers are well beyond 100°C, enough to eliminate any lurking pathogen. Within the next 48 hours, the slices will have to be fully dried.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUsed for generations for multiple medicinal purposes, high curcumin Lakadong turmeric is fresh with a strong flavour and aroma that makes it one of the finest turmeric in the world and health watchers favourite.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRead more about the benefits of \u003ca title=\"Benefits of Turmeric - the miracle spice\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zizira.com\/blogs\/plants\/benefits-of-turmeric-miracle-spice-healthy-you\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.zizira.com\/blogs\/plants\/benefits-of-turmeric-miracle-spice-healthy-you\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ehigh curcumin turmeric\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\u003c!--\n.tb_button {padding:1px;cursor:pointer;border-right: 1px solid #8b8b8b;border-left: 1px solid #FFF;border-bottom: 1px solid #fff;}.tb_button.hover {borer:2px outset #def; background-color: #f8f8f8 !important;}.ws_toolbar {z-index:100000} .ws_toolbar .ws_tb_btn {cursor:pointer;border:1px solid #555;padding:3px} .tb_highlight{background-color:yellow} .tb_hide {visibility:hidden}

Farmers from different villages come to this market to sell their produces and they brought their turmeric along to be grounded, packed, and dispatched there. Hence, the name ‘Shangpung Turmeric’. Then eventually, farmers of Lakadong village realized the importance of the spice and started growing them in their gardens and everywhere in the village making it popularly known as Lakadong Chyrmit (turmeric).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat Are The Steps Taken by Zizira to Ensure the Quality of Lakadong Turmeric?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eZizira wants to ensure that the price you pay for each of our Lakadong turmeric products is worth it.

We make the extra effort to partner with farmers from Jaintia Hills whose traditional farming practices emphasize quality and responsibility. We know our farmer partners and we share the same mission. We prioritize the long-term health of the land. The land of these farmers is free from pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and insecticides. They use traditional methods of farming: cow dung, manure, and vermicompost in their soil while cultivating Lakadong turmeric.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eQuality assurance-\u003c\/strong\u003eWe send the turmeric powder to the accredited testing house to rule out the presence of any kind of hazard. We must be sure the turmeric slices or powder that we offer our customer is no lesser than pure, high-curcumin Lakadong turmeric. We send test samples to ensure the turmeric is free from unwanted contaminants such as heavy metals, chemical fertilizers, insecticides, pesticides, and toxic chemicals. Only after getting the favourable test reports do we release our products to the shelves.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eExtra care when washing-\u003c\/strong\u003eAt our in-house processing unit, the freshly harvested turmeric rhizomes are removed and the fingers separated. We do this to remove the soil stuck in between the fingers. The entire lot is then soaked in clean water for about 10 minutes to loosen soil and dirt particles. One batch after another then goes into a roller-drum washer for a thorough 7 to 10 minutes roll-washing under a jet of running water. At the end of that time, the turmeric fingers come out scrubbed and cleaned. But we are not yet done. The 3-basin washes are the next steps for the rhizome pieces to come out even squeakier clean, smooth, and shining, cleared of all physical dirt. The cleaned rhizomes then go to food-grade containers to drain off the extra water. Next, they are fed to a mechanized slicer for slicing. Even as we slice the rhizomes, we savour that wafting special aroma that can only belong to pure Lakadong. A deep golden yellow colour diffuses across the workroom; the aroma that now permeates the air is so distinctive and defining. There is no mistaking the scent of freshly harvested Lakadong, the world’s best turmeric.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDrying chambers-\u003c\/strong\u003eWe keep three types of driers in place to ensure we pass this critical point: solar dryer, gas dryer, and wood-burning dryer. All three are utilized as required to quicken the drying process so that all slices become devoid of moisture within 4 hours. That will rule out fungal and other microbial growth. Besides, the temperatures inside the drying chambers are well beyond 100°C, enough to eliminate any lurking pathogen. Within the next 48 hours, the slices will have to be fully dried.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUsed for generations for multiple medicinal purposes, high curcumin Lakadong turmeric is fresh with a strong flavour and aroma that makes it one of the finest turmeric in the world and health watchers favourite.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRead more about the benefits of \u003ca title=\"Benefits of Turmeric - the miracle spice\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zizira.com\/blogs\/plants\/benefits-of-turmeric-miracle-spice-healthy-you\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.zizira.com\/blogs\/plants\/benefits-of-turmeric-miracle-spice-healthy-you\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ehigh curcumin turmeric\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\u003c!--\n.tb_button {padding:1px;cursor:pointer;border-right: 1px solid #8b8b8b;border-left: 1px solid #FFF;border-bottom: 1px solid #fff;}.tb_button.hover {borer:2px outset #def; background-color: #f8f8f8 !important;}.ws_toolbar {z-index:100000} .ws_toolbar .ws_tb_btn {cursor:pointer;border:1px solid #555;padding:3px} .tb_highlight{background-color:yellow} .tb_hide {visibility:hidden}
