The high-altitude legend. Intensely aromatic, impossibly vibrant
In Meghalaya's high-altitude hills, the Lamare family has grown turmeric for three generations. The volcanic soil and misty climate produce rhizomes with curcumin levels most farms can only dream of - up to 3x the industry standard.
You'll know it the moment you open the jar: Earthy, warm, with an aroma that fills the room.
Works beautifully in golden lattes — warm milk with a pinch of turmeric and black pepper. Also great in curries and marinades.

Black pepper increases turmeric absorption by 2000%
Jainitia Hills, Meghalaya, India
Grown in
Meghalaya — "abode of clouds" — sits at 4,000ft where heavy monsoons and acidic soil produce aromatic spices.
Edwina Lamare walks to her family's fields in Lakadong village, where 'Shynrai Lakadong' — as it's called in Khasi — has been cultivated for three generations.
The Lamare and Nongdkhar family grows turmeric organically in the Jaintia Hills — no fertilizers, just mountain soil and knowledge passed down through generations.
Each rhizome is sliced by hand and sun-dried slowly to preserve the deep golden color and 7.61% curcumin that Lakadong is known for worldwide.
Living Roots’ Turmeric is the best!
Its fragrance is sweet and fresh—almost perfume-like. When I first used it for bread baking, I knew it would make for a vibrant look but the flavor blew my mind! Mild and exotic, it fills the palate slowly and elevates the taste buds. My Turmeric bread is a fan favorite (I pair the Turmeric with cracked Black Pepper and it is bliss!) Once you try it, you will know the quality is unlike anything else on the market. Just get it—you won’t regret it!!
Thank you Alexia, for taking the time to leave such a lovely review for our Lakadong Turmeric. We are thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the product and that it has exceeded your expectations. We truly appreciate your support and hope to continue providing you with exceptional products in the future.
I have been enjoying turmeric my entire life and have been incorporating it into my cooking for over 17 years. Among all the varieties I've tried, this brand stands out as the most authentic and flavorful.
Having grown up in both India and the US, I've experienced countless types of turmeric, but this one truly captures the essence of fresh turmeric. Its vibrant color infuses every dish with a rich, golden hue, and its potency means I only need to use a small amount. I also create turmeric shots from this and fresh yellow and white types of turmeric, combined with freshly ground black pepper, for enhanced absorption.
I highly recommend this exceptional brand of turmeric—it's simply the best for cooking or for supplements!
Excellent qualitative product Lakadong turmeric
Thank you, Yamini! Edwina's farm in Meghalaya does extraordinary work, glad the quality came through in your kitchen.
I tried turmeric years ago (capsules) and it hurt my stomach. I’ve tried this turmeric - no problems at all! On my 3rd bottle and the aches in my hands & knees are gone! Recommended to two of my friends.
Thank you so much for sharing this, Dena and for passing the word along to your friends. That kind of recommendation means more to us than any ad we could run. So glad the Lakadong has found a place in your kitchen.
Love love love ! Beautiful turmeric have been looking for real product a very long time. I almost gave up. Then through searching i read your post on your product. Said to my self I’ll try one more time. This Turmeric I welcome in my daily healthy routine. Thank you I will continue to purchase. Blessings
Just a word of praise. Thank You so much for offering your pure products to the public. I wish the best of return on your efforts. Who knew? But you knew. The two products that I ordered, promotes brain health and overall health. It's extremely difficult to find in it's truest form. Again Thank You and wishing the greatest of success. K
Thanks for the sample of Oolong Tea. No more coffee for me. I'm so very glad that I found your site. Purest of Spices. Especially the Lakadong Turmeric which has the highest Curcumin (48g). It's all great. And your service is wonderful. Thanks Again. Kathryn
Lakadong Tumeric is flavorful and beneficial, the one to use!
Absolutely Outstanding Quality – A Must-Have!
I recently purchased the Turmeric and Black Pepper from Living Roots, and I am beyond impressed. From the moment I opened the packaging, I could tell I was dealing with incredibly fresh, high-quality products. The turmeric is vibrant, aromatic, and earthy—clearly made from premium roots. It adds such depth to my dishes and makes an amazing golden milk!
The black pepper is equally impressive—fragrant, bold, and with just the right amount of heat. You can really taste the difference compared to store-bought spices.
I also love that Living Roots is committed to sustainable sourcing and authenticity. It’s clear a lot of care goes into their products. These are now staples in my kitchen, and I won’t be going back to any other brand.
Highly recommend to anyone who values purity, flavor, and wellness!
I use turmeric everyday and this product is beyond my expectations. From the light weight glass packaging bottle to the earthy label. As soon as you open the bottle the fragrance reminded of the turmeric we used back home . It is so fresh and has an earthy organic taste to it. The color is all natural and organic. Truely a magical product.
I tried to order the Lakadong Turmeric online from the farm in India, but the order did not go through. I was so grateful to find you online. I received my order quickly, and couldn't wait to open and try it, andd biy what a fantastic turmeric! I am trying to incorporate the food source of turmeric into my daily dietary intake instead of the capsules because who knows what else is in there! Anyways, thank you for having this wonderful product available. Very happy that it comes in a lightweight glass bottle
