{"product_id":"lakadong-turmeric-powder","title":"Lakadong Turmeric Powder","description":"\u003cp\u003eLakadong isn't a brand. It's a village.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTucked into the Jaintia Hills of Meghalaya in India's northeast, Lakadong has been growing turmeric for generations. What grows there isn't ordinary turmeric. It's the single-highest-curcumin variety known anywhere in the world — routinely tested at 7–9% curcumin, compared with 2–3% in the turmeric most kitchens have on the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat's why chefs, ayurvedic practitioners, and wellness-led cooks have been quietly stockpiling it for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut high curcumin isn't the only reason to cook with it. Lakadong turmeric has a deep orange-red colour, not the dull yellow of commodity turmeric. The flavour is warmer, slightly sweet, less bitter. It lifts a dal instead of muddying it. Golden milk made with Lakadong tastes like something you'd actually want to drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOurs is sourced directly from farmers in the Jaintia Hills and ground in small batches in our own facility. No blending with cheaper varieties. No colour added. No anti-caking agents. What's in the pack is what the hills grew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEveryday cooking: dals, vegetables, rice, marinades — use roughly half the quantity you'd use of regular turmeric. It's more potent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGolden milk (haldi doodh): ¼ tsp in a cup of warm milk, with a pinch of black pepper and a drop of ghee. Black pepper is essential — it increases curcumin absorption by up to 2,000%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmoothies and tonics: a small pinch in a morning smoothie or with warm water and lemon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLakadong village, Jaintia Hills district, Meghalaya, India.
