About Turmeric (Whole & Powder)

India produces over 80% of the world's turmeric supply โ€” and the Alleppey variety from Andhra Pradesh is the undisputed global standard for curcumin content. With a minimum 3.0% curcumin, Alleppey turmeric commands premium pricing in EU and US markets where curcumin content drives buying decisions.

SV Botanica sources directly from Alleppey (Andhra Pradesh) and Madras (Tamil Nadu) cultivation zones, ensuring consistent curcumin content, vibrant golden colour, and low moisture levels across every shipment. We supply whole fingers for downstream processing and well-milled powder for immediate food manufacturing use.

Why Indian Turmeric

Alleppey turmeric has the highest curcumin content of any commercial turmeric variety globally โ€” minimum 3.0% curcumin versus 2.0% for Vietnamese or 1.5% for Indonesian equivalents. This makes India-origin Alleppey the preferred raw material for oleoresin manufacturers, curcumin extraction facilities, and food manufacturers requiring rich golden colour.

Origin & Traceability

Sourced from the Erode-Nizamabad belt (Andhra Pradesh) and Salem district (Tamil Nadu) โ€” India's two primary turmeric belts. Full lot-level traceability, curcumin content certification, and phytosanitary documents provided with every shipment.
