Turmeric Finger & Bulb β€” Specifications

Β 

🫚 Turmeric Finger

The primary export product used globally for grinding, reprocessing, and downstream value-added applications. The finger format offers the best yield for grinding and highest curcumin concentration among whole forms.

Buyer Advantage: Better yield for grinding, higher curcumin potential, and uniform sizing for machine processing. Ideal for food manufacturers, spice blenders, and pharma extraction units.

🟠 Turmeric Bulb

The mother rhizome β€” thicker and rounder than fingers. Prized for high volatile oil content, making it the preferred choice for essential oil extraction and flavor/aroma blending applications.

Buyer Advantage: Higher volatile oil content than fingers, suitable for oil extraction industries, fragrance manufacturers, and Ayurvedic product companies.
