Lakadong Turmeric

Lakadong Valley in the Meghalaya is famous for its Unique type of turmeric – Lakadong Turmeric. This spice is known to have an high curcumin content thanks to its favourable soil, climate and environmental conditions.

As a consequence, Lakadong Turmeric possesses significant health benefits, while also giving it a chic flavour, strong aroma and a vibrant orange-yellow colour. “Study suggests that curcumin can help us for the management of oxidative and inflammatory conditions, metabolic syndrome, arthritis, anxiety, and hyperlipidemia,”

Enter Shillong-based venture, Zizira, founded by entrepreneur Ralph Budelman from Chicago ,who noticed the untapped potential of turmeric

He understood how this wonder spice was significantly superior to its global counterparts, but ironically remained unknown to the planet.

We source turmeric from farmer partners who use traditional methods of farming i.e. farms that don't use any variety of chemicals or pesticides.. We inspect everything from soil quality, variety of fertilizers and if any pesticides are used.

We only accommodate farmers who use natural plant or animal-based fertilizers and pesticides. Any trace of chemicals is a direct deal-breaker for us

Moving Beyond Turmeric

Their Objective is to showcase the unique treasures found in Meghalaya. Besides their Turmeric powder, another one amongst their standout products is honey.

We source honey from traditional beekeepers which is within the purest and therefore the rawest form. Another top product would be Makhir Ginger powder which may be a rare form of ginger valued for its potency and has been utilized in traditional folk medicine in Meghalaya for hundreds of years.
