About Ginger (Dry & Powder)

Kerala's Cochin and Calicut regions produce India's finest export-grade dry ginger — the Cochin Garbled grade is the internationally recognised premium, defined by limed and peeled dry ginger with a characteristic pale buff exterior and strong volatile oil content. The Calicut grade is the natural, unpeeled equivalent.

SV Botanica sources directly from Kerala ginger cultivation networks — Wayanad, Ernakulam, and Kozhikode districts — supplying both the premium Cochin Garbled grade for EU and US markets and the Calicut unpeeled grade for processing applications. Freshly milled ginger powder retains maximum volatile oil and gingerol content.

Why Indian Ginger

Indian dry ginger has a higher volatile oil content and gingerol profile than Chinese or West African equivalents. The Cochin Garbled standard — limed, peeled, sun-dried rhizomes — is the benchmark for premium dried ginger globally and commands the highest market price.

Origin & Traceability

Sourced from Wayanad, Ernakulam, and Kozhikode districts of Kerala. Cochin Garbled grade processed at APEDA-certified facilities. Full lot traceability and export documentation provided.
