Product overview

Whole-root turmeric powder serves a different buyer from the 95% extract. Where the extract delivers a concentrated standardised active, the root powder delivers the whole rhizome — curcuminoids at their natural 3–5%, plus the turmerones and volatile oils that extraction strips out.

That matters for clean-label and whole-food positioning, where "turmeric root" on a panel does work that "curcumin extract" does not, and for culinary and beverage applications where colour and flavour are the point.

USDA and EU organic certified, sourced from Indian farms, steam sterilised rather than irradiated, and milled to 80 mesh for clean dispersion.

Questions about Organic Turmeric Root Powder

Should I use root powder or 95% extract?

It depends on the claim. Root powder suits clean-label and whole-food positioning and culinary use, delivering curcuminoids at their natural 3–5% alongside turmerones and volatile oils. The 95% extract suits standardised dosing where a specific curcuminoid level must be declared and delivered.

Is the powder irradiated?

No. Our organic turmeric root powder is steam sterilised, which is required for organic certification and is preferred by clean-label brands. Irradiation is not permitted under USDA organic standards.

Can we make this to your specification?

Yes. Mesh size, assay strength, blend ratio, packaging format and label are all specifiable. We are your turnkey manufacturing partner — if you need this material milled differently, blended with another active, or delivered as a finished encapsulated product under your own brand, that is ordinary work for us rather than an exception.
