Indian Turmeric in Bulk

Turmeric is bought on curcumin content, and that varies widely by variety and region. Salem and Erode material from Tamil Nadu typically runs highest and is preferred by extractors, while Nizamabad and Sangli varieties serve the spice trade. India supplies the overwhelming majority of world production. BulkFineChem supplies fingers and powder to masala manufacturers, curcumin extractors, nutraceutical companies and export buyers.
