Turmeric is a vibrant yellow-orange spice that has been celebrated for centuries due to its incredible health benefits.
As more people turn to natural remedies and organic foods, turmeric has gained renewed interest for its medicinal properties, particularly in the form of curcumin, its active compound.
But not all turmeric is created equal. At Sattvic Foods, we offer 100% raw organic turmeric that stands out in both quality and efficacy. Grown by independent farmers in Karnataka's Hebbal village, our turmeric is certified organic and retains its full curcumin content, ensuring it delivers the maximum health benefits.
What is Medicinal Grade Turmeric?
Medicinal grade turmeric is a type of turmeric that contains a higher concentration of curcumin, the powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound responsible for most of its health benefits. Our turmeric is 100% raw and unprocessed, meaning it is not subjected to boiling or heat, preserving its natural potency and ensuring maximum curcumin content.
The Role of Curcumin in Medicinal Turmeric
Curcumin is the active ingredient in turmeric that has been extensively studied for its health benefits. It helps reduce inflammation, fight free radicals, and may even prevent chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. The more curcumin a turmeric product contains, the more potent its health-boosting effects.
Why Maximum Curcumin Content Matters
The amount of curcumin in turmeric can vary widely depending on how it is processed. Our turmeric boasts the highest curcumin content because it is never boiled or exposed to temperatures above 45°C. This is key to maintaining the spice’s medicinal properties, making it far superior to many processed versions on the market.
Sourcing Organic Turmeric from Hebbal Village
Our turmeric is sourced from Hebbal village in Karnataka, where it is grown by independent farmers dedicated to sustainable and organic agriculture. We believe in supporting local communities and ensuring that our farming methods are environmentally friendly. This also guarantees that the turmeric we provide is free from synthetic chemicals, pesticides, and artificial fertilisers.
Independent Farmers and Sustainable Agriculture
By partnering with independent farmers, we not only support small-scale agriculture but also ensure that our turmeric is grown using traditional and sustainable farming methods. This results in a purer, higher-quality product that is better for both the consumer and the environment.
Organic Certification and Its Importance
Our turmeric is certified organic, meaning it meets stringent standards for organic farming. This certification guarantees that our product is free from harmful chemicals and is grown in soil that is replenished and maintained through eco-friendly practices.
Why Our Turmeric Stands Out
Raw and Unprocessed: No Boiling or Heat Exposure
Many commercial turmeric powders are subjected to high temperatures, which can degrade the curcumin content and affect the flavour. Our turmeric is never heated above 45°C, preserving its rich medicinal properties and natural vibrancy.
Rich Aroma and Taste
One of the first things you’ll notice about our turmeric is its incredibly strong scent. This is a clear indication of its purity and potency. Unlike the bland, processed versions found in supermarkets, our turmeric has a deep, earthy aroma that enhances any dish it is added to.
Maximum Health Benefits
The combination of high curcumin content and raw processing makes our turmeric a true superfood. Whether you’re adding it to your meals or using it as a natural health supplement, you can trust that you’re getting all the health benefits turmeric has to offer.
Health Benefits of Organic Turmeric
Controlling Blood Sugar Levels
Curcumin has been shown to help regulate blood sugar levels, making it a valuable tool in the management of Type 2 diabetes. By incorporating turmeric into your diet, you may help lower your blood sugar naturally.
Antioxidant Properties and Fighting Inflammation
Turmeric is a powerful antioxidant that neutralises harmful free radicals in the body. This helps reduce inflammation, which is a major contributor to many chronic diseases, including arthritis and heart disease.
Aiding Digestion and Improving Gut Health
If you suffer from digestive issues such as bloating, gas, or inflammatory bowel disease, turmeric can help. Its anti-inflammatory properties support healthy digestion and improve gut health, providing relief from discomfort.
Boosting Immunity Naturally
Turmeric is also a fantastic immune booster. Its antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties help protect against infections, making it a popular remedy for colds, flu, and other common illnesses. Many people take it daily with warm milk to strengthen their immune system.

How to Use Organic Turmeric in Everyday Cooking
Turmeric is one of the most versatile spices and can be used in a variety of dishes. Here are a few ways to incorporate it into your meals:
Adding Turmeric to Curries and Marinades
Turmeric is a staple in Indian cuisine, particularly in curries and marinades. Its earthy, slightly peppery flavour enhances the taste of these dishes while adding a bright yellow hue.
Using Turmeric in Eggs, Frittatas, and Tofu Scrambles
For a quick and healthy breakfast, add turmeric to scrambled eggs, frittatas, or tofu scrambles. It’s an easy way to boost the nutrition of your morning meal.
Incorporating Turmeric into Beverages and Smoothies
Turmeric isn’t just for savoury dishes; it can also be added to smoothies and teas for a healthful boost. A dash of turmeric in your morning smoothie or a warm cup of turmeric tea is a great way to start your day.
Enhancing Soups with Turmeric
Add a spoonful of turmeric to your soups and stews to give them an extra dose of nutrition. Its anti-inflammatory properties make it a great addition to winter soups for combating cold and flu season.
