Lakadong Turmeric is a variety of turmeric that is abundantly found in the Jaintia Hills of Meghalaya, India. It is believed to the world's best turmeric due to its high content of curcumin, a compound that gives turmeric its bright yellow color and is responsible for various health benefits. Lakadong Turmeric is believed to have around 7-12% of curcumin, while regular turmeric normally has 2-3% of curcumin content.

Lakadong Turmeric is primarily cultivated in the valley near the confluence of Myntang and Mynriang rivers. The land here is full of dense evergreen growth. It requires sufficient rainfall, hence the monsoon season sees the Lakadong stems grow into green, long and tall sharp leaves.

Lakadong Turmeric is native to Asia and India. The tuberous rhizones or underground stems of turmeric have been used from antiquity as condiments, a dye and an aromatic stimulant in several medicines. Turmeric is very important spice in India and as producer and exporter, India in on top.

Lakadong Turmeric is mainly cultivated in the alluvial soils of the Jaintia Hills in Meghalaya.

Lakadong Turmeric is commonly used in Indian and South-East Asian cuisine, mainly in curries, stews, and rice dishes.

Lakadong Turmeric contains curcumin, an active compound which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It also helps improve symptoms of depression and arthritis, prevent heart diseases and even the growth of cancerous cells. It is also known to heal swellings and broken bones.
