Selam Turmeric (Dried Rhizome)सेलम हल्दी

Properties
Salem Turmeric (Curcuma longa) from Tamil Nadu is widely considered one of the highest premium grades of turmeric available globally. It is famous for its exceptionally high curcumin content, which gives it a darker, richer, more vibrant orange-yellow color compared to regular varieties. Because of its intense color and strong, earthy flavor, less of it is required in cooking. It is highly sought after by the nutraceutical industry.
