White Turmeric Powder

Product Description:

White Turmeric Powder is made from the dried, finely ground rhizome of Curcuma zedoaria, commonly known as Zedoary or Kachur in Hindi. It is genuinely a different plant from both culinary turmeric (Curcuma longa) and Kasturi Manjal (Curcuma aromatica), though all three are frequently confused with one another in the marketplace since they share the word turmeric and a broadly similar pale rhizome appearance.
 
The rhizomes are sun-dried and milled into a fine, pale cream-toned powder suited to traditional Ayurvedic formulation and skincare preparations. White Turmeric Powder is a steady requirement for Ayurvedic formulators and cosmetic brands exploring alternatives to standard turmeric, and it's just as suited to a wellness product maker testing a new blend, or a smaller buyer trying a batch before committing to more.
