Turmeric Farms

Kadambur is most suitable area for turmeric plantation. Turmeric  is a rhizomatous herbaceousperennial plant of the ginger family. It is native to tropical South Asia and needs temperatures between 20°C and 30°C and a considerable amount of annual rainfall. Turmeric grows wild in the forests of Southeast Asia. It has become the key ingredient for many Indian, Persian, Thaiand Malay dishes, not only Indian curry, but also in masak lemak, rendang and many more. Although most usage of turmeric is in the form of root powder, in some regions (especially in Maharashtra), leaves of turmeric are used to wrap and cook food. This usually takes place in areas where turmeric is grown locally, since the leaves used are freshly picked. This imparts a distinct flavor. In Ayurvedic practices, turmeric has many medicinal properties and many in South Asia use it as a readily available antiseptic for cuts, burns and bruises. It is also used as an antibacterial agent.
