Dried export-grade raw turmeric fingers

Why Buyers Choose Raw Fingers

Raw turmeric fingers are the least processed form we ship, and the form most buyers choose when they intend to mill or extract themselves. Nothing is polished off the rhizome, so the surface keeps the volatile oils that carry aroma — and the curcumin figure you buy on is the figure that reaches your grinder.

Curcumin is the number that matters, and it moves with region, harvest window and drying discipline. Our fingers run 4.0% to 5.5%, which sits at the upper end of what Indian turmeric delivers commercially. Every lot is tested before it is offered, so the range on your contract is a measured result rather than a category average.

Buying Notes

What to Specify

If you operate your own mill, buying fingers rather than powder keeps the grind specification — mesh, heat exposure, blend ratio — under your control, and gives you a longer-keeping raw material. Whole rhizomes hold aroma considerably better than pre-ground turmeric, which starts losing volatile oil the moment it is milled.

It also simplifies your incoming-goods check. A finger can be inspected by eye for mould, insect damage and foreign matter in a way powder cannot, which is why extraction plants and re-exporters almost always specify whole material.
