Buy Lakadong Turmeric Powder Online – Highest Curcumin (8–12%)

The GOLD World Forgot

Lakadong turmeric is not ordinary turmeric. Grown in the Jaintia Hills of Meghalaya, Northeast India, this rare variety of Curcuma longa contains 8–12% curcumin — the highest of any turmeric variety in the world. Regular supermarket turmeric contains just 2–3%. At Pahari Roots, we source directly from tribal farmers who have cultivated this golden root for generations.

What is Lakadong Turmeric?

Lakadong turmeric takes its name from the Lakadong village in the West Jaintia Hills district of Meghalaya. It is a Geographical Indication (GI) certified variety, meaning its origin and quality are officially protected. The deep orange-red colour, intense aroma, and extraordinary curcumin concentration set it apart from any other turmeric you have tried.

Unlike mass-produced turmeric that is often blended, adulterated, or grown with heavy pesticide use, Lakadong turmeric from Pahari Roots is single-origin, lab-tested, and traceable to the farm.

Why is Curcumin Percentage Important?

Curcumin is the active compound in turmeric responsible for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immune-supporting properties. The higher the curcumin content, the more potent and effective the turmeric.

With 8–12% curcumin, Lakadong turmeric delivers 3–5× more benefit per gram than regular turmeric.

For those using turmeric for golden milk, joint support, gut health, or daily immunity — curcumin percentage is the single most important factor. Lakadong is the highest curcumin turmeric available in India.
