Dried Curcuma Zedoaria Root | White Turmeric | Zedoary Root – Ancient Herbal Remedy and Culinary Treasure

What is White Turmeric (Curcuma Zedoaria)?

Dried White Turmeric, scientifically known as Curcuma zedoaria, is a treasured rhizome with a rich heritage in Ayurvedic and traditional medicine. Often called Zedoary Root or Kachur, this mild yet powerful turmeric variety is distinct from the common yellow turmeric and prized for its pale, cream-colored interior and earthy aroma. Native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, White Turmeric has been used for centuries to support digestive health, skin wellness, and overall vitality.

• Blood Purification and Respiratory Health: Valued in Ayurveda for purifying the blood, white turmeric supports respiratory wellness and acts as a natural antiseptic when applied topically.
