Mt. Meru’s Lakadong Turmeric Powder begins where turmeric has always begun: in the highlands of Meghalaya, India. Grown at altitude in mineral-rich soil and abundant rainfall, Laka dong turmeric is naturally rich in curcumin (8–12%), significantly higher than standard varieties. In Ayurvedic tradition, turmeric is valued as a whole herb — where curcumin works in harmony with turmerones, volatile oils, and dozens of naturally occurring compounds that together preserve turmeric’s natural integrity and potency as a whole herb. But potency is only part of the story. Each rhizome is harvested by hand, sun-dried to preserve its natural vitality, and stone-ground into a vibrant, aromatic powder. Nothing extracted. Nothing standardized. Nothing engineered. Just whole turmeric as it has been used for generations. In India, turmeric, affectionately called, “the Kitchen Queen” is the heart of the kitchen. From immune-boosting khichdis to delicious curries, turmeric can be added to almost every dish. Associated with a myriad of health benefits, it has been a staple of the Indian way of life for over 6000 years. Lakadong Turmeric supports Maṇipūra — the Solar Plexus Chakra — symbolizing digestive fire, vitality, and steady energy cultivated through daily nourishment. Show more
