LAKADONG TURMERIC

  • BENEFITS: anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, immune-boosting
  • 100g | hand-packed in North London

Turmeric that's as powerful as it tastes

From a little village in Jaintia Hills, Meghalaya, India. Quality soil, high altitudes and traditional farming methods by local farmers are what make this possibly the best turmeric in the world that can't be grown anywhere else.

Why is it so special? It has an incredible 9.89% curcumin, 3 times powerful than the average turmeric! Curcumin is the active healing agent, giving rich colour, flavour and anti-inflammatory benefits. Grown alongside pineapples and oranges, even with nothing else added, Lakadong turmeric gives you a smooth, velvet sip of nutritional goodness wrapped in notes of citrus and smoky wood. 

So you'll only need to use half a teaspoon to enjoy all the benefits. A cup of gold.

GROWN BY WOMEN FARMERS

After two flights and three taxis, I finally met Ms. Matilda and Ms. Ioi Tang (seen on the right). They and a team of 200 all-women farmers have been cultivating this heirloom plant for generations. Using their tribal wisdom and sustainable farming practices that go beyond organic, letting nature do its magic.

Excellent turmeric to take as supplement

Following extensive research on the available varieties of turmeric to be taken regularly as a supplement for joint pains and swelling for my wife, and having tried out many other suppliers products over many months, I finally found Lakedong Turmeric marketed by Dear Farmer, a product grown only in the Meghalaya/Lakadong district of north east India having the highest Curcamin (9%) content, while most other tumeric varieties researched contained substantially lower percentages of this vital ingredient.

I decided to order The Dear Farmer product for my wife as it is claimed to be grown naturally in a small holdings, harvested at the optimum time and sundried naturally, which I understand to take longer (rather than forced drying using applied heat) and ground to the powder form, all processes carried out at the source by a small community of growers using traditional techniques to retain the high quality and effectiveness of naturally occuring Curcumin.

My wife has found the Dear Farmer product to be superior to other available forms of turmeric and has twice re-ordered (4 x 100g each time) for the excellence of the product and customer service. Will soon be re-ordering again.

Too good (and expensive) to use as a spice in cooking although this should surpass the turmeric bought at the local asian store!!!

Note - It is claimed by experts that a heaped teaspoon of ground black pepper added and well mixed to the contents of each 100g bottle before use enhances the absorption rate of the active ingredient. My wife adds a teaspoon of this turmeric powder to her warm coffee with breakfast each morning without fail, and a little warm water added to any remaining un-dissolved turmeric sediment, stirred and swallow. Refrain from boiling (like in a curry) although this would dissolve the powder.

Really smooth taste

I love the taste, it's very smooth and tastes great just boiled in water, with some oat or soy drink added. I also enjoyed the handwritten, personalised card it came with :) It would be nice to get it in local whole foods shops.
