About this product
Lakadong is the variety Meghalaya is known for, prized because its curcumin content runs far above ordinary commodity turmeric. Rhizomes are boiled, sun-dried for a fortnight and stone-ground in small lots so the powder does not scorch. The colour is deep orange rather than pale yellow, and a little goes further than you expect.

Common questions
What does cold-pressed actually mean?
The seed is crushed slowly at a temperature that never rises above about 45°C. Industrial oil is extracted with heat and a chemical solvent, then bleached and deodorised to make it uniform. Cold-pressing skips all of that, which is why the oil keeps its colour, aroma and nutrients — and why it varies slightly from batch to batch.
Why is there sediment at the bottom of my bottle?
That is unrefined oil behaving normally. Fine particles of the seed stay suspended and settle over time. Refined oils are filtered and chemically treated until nothing is left to settle. Give the bottle a gentle swirl before use.
How should I store the oil?
A cool, dark cupboard with the cap closed tight. Keep it away from the stove — repeated heating and cooling shortens its life. Refrigeration is not needed and may cause harmless cloudiness.
What is the shelf life?
Nine months from the date of pressing, printed on every bottle along with the batch number. Because there are no preservatives, we recommend using it within two months of opening.
Where do the seeds come from?
Groundnuts from farms around Latur and sunflower from Solapur, both in Maharashtra. Every batch carries the number of the pressing lot, so we can trace it back to the source.
