Available Grades

Indian Turmeric Finger is available in multiple export grades to meet the diverse requirements of food manufacturers, spice processors, nutraceutical companies, pharmaceutical industries, wholesalers, and international importers. Each grade differs in terms of size, appearance, curcumin content, and intended application. Selecting the right grade depends on the buyer’s quality specifications, end-use, and destination market requirements.

At KINAL Global Care, we supply carefully selected turmeric grades that are processed, sorted, and packed according to international export standards.

Finger Grade

Finger Grade consists of long, well-developed turmeric rhizomes with a smooth surface, bright natural colour, and uniform appearance. It is the most preferred export grade for spice processors, wholesalers, and food manufacturers due to its excellent visual quality, high processing yield, and suitability for grinding into premium turmeric powder.

Bulb Grade

Bulb Grade includes the rounded primary rhizomes attached to the turmeric plant. These bulbs are generally thicker and heavier than fingers and are commonly used in commercial processing, extraction, and industrial applications. Depending on buyer requirements, bulb grade may also be blended with finger grade for specific processing needs.

High Curcumin Grade

High Curcumin Turmeric is specially selected from varieties known for their elevated curcumin content, making it ideal for nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, herbal supplement, and turmeric extract manufacturers. The exact curcumin percentage varies by variety, origin, and harvest season, with laboratory verification available upon request.

Conventional Turmeric

Conventional Turmeric is cultivated using standard agricultural practices while adhering to applicable food safety and quality standards. It is widely used across the food, spice, seasoning, and industrial sectors due to its consistent quality, year-round availability, and competitive pricing.

Organic Turmeric

Organic Turmeric is grown without the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or genetically modified inputs and is produced in accordance with recognized organic farming standards. Suitable for organic food brands, health product manufacturers, and premium retail markets, organic turmeric is available subject to seasonal availability and certification requirements.
