1. Introduction to Dried Turmeric

Dried Turmeric (Nghệ Khô) is one of the most important agricultural exports of Vietnam. Grown in the mineral-rich soils of the Central Highlands and Northern provinces, Vietnamese turmeric is globally recognized for its vibrant color and high Curcumin concentration.

At Vinahugo, we offer turmeric in two primary dried forms: Whole Roots and Slices. Our turmeric undergoes a strict process of cleaning, steaming (to lock in the color and Curcumin), and dehydration. This ensures the product remains free from mold while preserving its powerful medicinal and culinary properties for international transit.
