24 Mantra Organic Turmeric Powder/Haldi Powder/Pasupu podi - 100gms | Pack of 1 | 100% Organic | Chemical Free & Pesticides Free | Rich Flavour | Unadulterated

Best turmeric used ever. It is consumed half of what I was using earlier, because these days manufacturers distract the essential oils of herbs, so they loose their potency. This one from Mantra Organic is pure. Using this from two years now and its purity and quality has always been top notch. I once got hurt and had a deep cut from a sharp knife, my friend just poured some turmeric on the wound and within hours it improved and healed completely within a couple of days. The cut was so deep if I had been to a doctor he would have suggested a couple of stiches. Turmeric is one of the best herbs.

This turmeric powder is awesome. It has a deep yellow-orange color and a wonderful aroma. In contrast to non-organic turmeric powders, it dissolves instantly in water. If you still need a reason to buy organic turmeric, please read the following article by Claude Alvares:"Some events stay with you always, however old you get. Both my grandmother and mother used haldi ‘fingers’ when preparing their masalas. I still recall bashing up the small, dull-looking, haldi sticks on a stone as we prepared the recipe of the day.The crushed haldi gave off a distinct aroma. While most of us are aware that vegetables and fruits sold in the market contain pesticides and poisons, too few consider today’s haldi as a health hazard even though we handle and use it every day.Haldi is manufactured from the root (or rhizome) of the turmeric plant. Before chemicals and the use of pesticide sprays arrived in Indian fields, farmers grew turmeric with liberal quantities of farmyard manure composted from straw and cowdung. That haldi was pure and good for use even in liberal quantities. Besides food, it was also used as a medicine, in rituals and for cosmetics. Today’s turmeric— from seed to spice—is a different ball-game.Farmers use a battery of dangerous chemicals to grow it. What’s more, it is then adulterated. The seed material is first treated by farmers with fungicides and systemic pesticides (copper oxychloride; dithane M-45; Bavistin: all implicated in sperm damage). Some farmers soak the root pieces in these chemicals which eventually become part of the mother plant. Nutrients used include diammonium phosphate, a chemical fertiliser. During their life of nine months, the haldi plants are regularly sprayed with these chemicals to protect them from damage by sucking insects and fungus. Strong chemical weedicides are also used. Once the haldi is ready, it is cleaned, boiled, dried, polished and sold to traders in the form of ‘fingers’ or bulbs. But none of these simple operations succeed in removing the toxic chemicals implanted in the product.Further, people today prefer powdered haldi as it is more convenient to use. However, while haldi fingers and bulbs can be painted yellow with lead chromate, powders are far easier to adulterate.Traders too prefer to sell powdered haldi. By adulertating it, they increase its weight. Haldi sold in stores is mixed with starch powder or saw dust dyed yellow with coal tar dyes (including metanil yellow) or with extremely toxic substances like lead chromate which is cheaply available.The lead can cause or worsen anaemia, abdominal pain, neurological problems, kidney damage, hypertension and foetal distress—all symptoms of lead poisoning. You wouldn’t even associate them with the haldi you use.Buy organic haldi. Here from seed to powder, no chemicals or pesticides are used. Buy it from certified organic growers or organic food stores. As expensive as regular haldi.You can also get haldi fingers or bulbs and grind them in a mixie. Check prices of powdered haldi from different sources. Lower the price, more the chances of adulteration"

Quality is good but price is quite high.
