Rare Wild Black Turmeric Powder (Curcuma Caesia) – 10kg
Rare Wild Black Turmeric Powder (Curcuma Caesia) – 10kg
Source authentic, laboratory-verified Ethically Sourced Pure Curcuma caesia (Black Turmeric / Kali Haldi) Rhizome Powder directly from sustainably managed, regenerative agricultural projects in India. Renowned as a rare and prized botanical species, Curcuma caesia is distinguished by its characteristic deep bluish-black core, rich concentration of bioactive essential oils (including camphor, ar-turmerone, dyspartione, and linalool), and exceptional antioxidant capacity.
Cultivated in chemical-free forest soils and harvested at full rhizome maturity, our black turmeric undergoes sanitary low-temperature air-drying to preserve delicate volatile terpenes before being micro-milled into a fine 80–100 mesh powder. Every export batch is subjected to comprehensive laboratory screening to confirm 100% species identity, total absence of synthetic dyes or heavy metals, and complete freedom from adulteration with common yellow turmeric or starch carriers. Ideal for high-end nutraceutical formulations, specialized botanical extracts, cosmeceuticals, and luxury wellness preparations.
