Understanding Curcumin Potency in Indian Turmeric
Turmeric is prized for its golden yellow pigment and active compound, Curcumin. When importing bulk Turmeric Finger from India, specifying the correct grade ensures you do not overpay or receive under-potent raw materials.
Key Commercial Varieties:
- Salem Grade: Famous for deep yellow-orange hue and high Curcumin (3.5% to 5.0%), preferred for pharmaceutical extraction and premium curry powders.
- Nizamabad / Rajapore: Known for hard texture, thickness, and balanced culinary flavor (2.5% to 3.5% curcumin).
