Frequently Asked Procurement Questions

What is the difference between Salem and Nizamabad turmeric varieties?

Salem turmeric from Tamil Nadu is renowned for its thick, bright golden-yellow fingers, low fiber, and smooth aroma, making it the preferred choice for whole spice distribution and culinary grinding. Nizamabad turmeric from Telangana is a major commercial variety offering excellent color value and reliable standard curcumin levels (2.5%–3.5%) for food manufacturing and seasoning blends.

How do you guarantee that turmeric is free from artificial dyes and lead chromate?

Food safety is our primary export requirement. Historically, inferior turmeric in unorganized markets has faced scrutiny for lead chromate adulteration to artificially enhance yellow color. We source exclusively from certified farmer groups and test every export batch in accredited analytical laboratories to verify zero lead chromate, zero synthetic azo/Sudan dyes, and heavy metals well below international and European Commission thresholds.

What curcumin percentage do you guarantee for pharmaceutical or extraction buyers?

For nutraceutical and extraction buyers requiring high curcumin concentration, we furnish Alleppey Finger and Salem Selected grades with verified curcumin levels ranging from 4.0% to 5.5%+, accompanied by HPLC laboratory test reports.

What is the packaging and loading specification for a 20ft container?

Whole dried turmeric fingers are packed in 25kg or 50kg new jute or woven PP bags with inner poly liners to prevent moisture ingress. A standard 20ft ocean container accommodates approximately 18 to 19 Metric Tons.
