What Makes Telangana’s Turmeric the Best in India?
When it comes to the golden spice that adds colour, flavour, and wellness to Indian cooking, Telangana’s turmeric holds a place of pride—especially from the fertile lands of Nizamabad. With over 13,900 hectares under cultivation and an annual yield of 86,000+ metric tonnes, this region is a cornerstone of India’s spice heritage.
At Swastik Spices, we believe it’s the perfect blend of climate, soil, indigenous varieties, and traditional wisdom that makes Telangana turmeric stand out.
A Region That Grows the Best Varieties
Telangana is known for growing several prized turmeric varieties like Rajendra Sonia, Rajendra Sonali, Rajapuri, PTS-10, and ACC-849. These are celebrated for their rich aroma, vibrant colour, and high yields. Adapted to the local soil and climate, these varieties are trusted in Indian homes and exported to global spice markets alike.
Nizamabad: A Curcumin Powerhouse
Nizamabad turmeric is considered among the finest in India because of its naturally high curcumin content—around 5%, which gives it a deep golden colour and stronger medicinal value. In addition, it contains 14–16% oleoresin, a compound crucial in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food processing. This makes it not only flavourful, but functionally rich.
Why Curcumin Content Matters
Curcumin is the key to turmeric’s health benefits. It offers anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immune-boosting effects—making it a staple in both traditional remedies and modern wellness. Higher curcumin means more therapeutic value. That’s why Swastik turmeric, sourced from curcumin-rich regions, is trusted by families and health-conscious cooks alike.
Backed by Science—and a National Mission
Telangana’s turmeric farmers are now supported by nationwide initiatives. The Spices Board of India has allocated ₹15 crore to the state for better planting material, organic farming adoption, and modern processing units. On top of that, the newly formed National Turmeric Board—headquartered in Nizamabad—is driving research, global exports, and farmer welfare. Tradition is now being uplifted through innovation.
Purity at the Source: Swastik Turmeric Powder
Consumers often ask if turmeric powder is pure and free from additives. At Swastik Spices, the answer is a firm yes. We bypass middlemen and source directly from farms in Telangana.
