Growing symbiotically amidst our partner farmer, Singh’s sugarcane, this Santosh Turmeric draws its distinct flavor from the warm Uttar Pradesh sun and from the robust, carefully nurtured soil where it resides. This root is named after Nandini’s Nani (grandmother), who called North India home for many years, and whose ever-present warmth is so alike the radiant flavor of this turmeric. Store bought turmeric contains 0.5%-1.5% curcumin (anti-inflammatory compound found in turmeric) and Beej Farms’ ROC turmeric boasts a staggering 4.1% curcumin!

Savor this finely ground root within your home, among any soups, stews, or lentils.
