Turmeric Finger
As the purest form of turmeric, the Dry turmeric finger is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plant belonging to the ginger family. Native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, turmeric is widely cultivated for its rhizomes, which are harvested and processed to obtain the popular spice known for its vibrant yellow color and earthy flavor.
It is used in food, medicines, and dyeing. We source this dry turmeric finger product from farmers who grow the crop in a natural and organic manner. Erode is a major producer of turmeric. The turmeric fingers are used to make turmeric powder.
