Frequently Asked Procurement Questions

What makes Alleppey finger turmeric unique globally?

Alleppey finger turmeric is renowned worldwide for its exceptionally high natural curcumin content, typically ranging between 5.0% and 6.5%. Its deep orange-red core and high volatile essential oil (4.0% to 5.5%) make it the premium choice for oleoresin extraction, herbal medicines, and high-potency health supplements.

How does Alleppey turmeric compare to regular commercial turmeric?

Ordinary turmeric fingers typically contain only 2.0% to 3.5% curcumin. Alleppey turmeric delivers nearly double the active curcuminoid concentration per gram, offering superior bioactivity and extraction yield for nutraceutical and pharmaceutical processors.

Are Hornbill Exim turmeric fingers tested for heavy metals and lead chromate?

Yes. Every export lot is tested at accredited ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories to guarantee zero lead chromate, zero artificial polishing agents, and non-detectable heavy metals (lead and arsenic below 0.1 ppm), ensuring 100% compliance with EU and US FDA safety limits.

What are the packaging and minimum order quantities for export?

Alleppey turmeric is shipped in 25kg or 50kg multi-wall paper bags with moisture-barrier poly liners or machine-cleaned export jute bags. Export consignments depart Cochin Port (INCOK1) with a standard container MOQ of 5 Metric Tons.

What is the HS Code for whole turmeric fingers?

The international Harmonized System (HS) Code for whole turmeric fingers is 09103020.
