Fresh turmeric root, the culinary herb derived from Curcuma longa, belongs to the Zingiberaceae family. This rhizomatous perennial herb grows to a height of 60–90 cm and produces pale yellow flowers on spikes, concealed by sheathing bracts. The rhizome itself has a distinctive bitter taste. Turmeric thrives widely across Southern Asia, including Nepal, and parts of Africa. In Nepal, it flourishes in tropical and subtropical regions, particularly in the southern lowlands. Renowned for its vibrant color and flavor, turmeric is a staple ingredient in Nepali cuisine and is also used as a natural fabric dye. Beyond its culinary uses, turmeric is highly regarded for its medicinal properties, including its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. The harvesting season for turmeric typically spans from April to May. We source it sustainably from the southern plains of Nepal, ensuring high-quality production for culinary, medicinal, and industrial applications.

Testimonials

Yolanda Cathcart

I have been a long time consumer of Annapurna Aroma essential oils.  I have purchased and loved the quality and integrity of the oils.  I have personally used Lemongrass, French basil, Corn-mint and Blue Chamomile.  On an energetic level the oils provide me with energy, clarity and peace of mind.  The aroma of the oils immediately makes me think of purity.  The oils have always been consistent and never appeared to smell off or oxidized.  As a company, I love the transparency and the ability to communicate easily.  Every question that I ever presented to the company was addressed in a timely manner.  May this company continue to move in a positive direction and may their oils help those that are in need of emotional support and wellbeing.

“I’ve been working with Prasun Satyal for many years now originally buying their beautiful blue chamomile! I’ve purchased many other oils from them over the years because their company is trustworthy and they care about the quality of their oils.”
