Fabstor is a certified B2B exporter and bulk supplier of premium Indian Whole Turmeric Fingers and Bulbs (Curcuma longa / Haldi), supplying commercial spice millers, curcumin extraction houses, food manufacturers, and bulk importers across the USA, Europe, Middle East (GCC), and Asia-Pacific.
Sourced directly from premier growing belts across Tamil Nadu (Salem, Erode), Maharashtra (Sangli, Basmat), and Telangana (Nizamabad), our turmeric rhizomes are hygienically cured, machine-polished, and lab-tested for natural curcumin concentration (1%–6%). Backed by a 50+ year parent supply legacy (Laxmi Group, est. 1975), we export single-variety FCLs and consolidated mixed containers (LCL) worldwide.
Long, machine-polished primary turmeric roots with 1%–5% curcumin — ideal for whole-root distribution, packaging, and high-grade commercial milling.
Dense, high-yield central mother rhizomes with 2%–4% curcumin — built for cost-effective bulk grinding, oleoresin extraction, and food processing.

Also known as "rounds," turmeric bulbs are the central mother rhizomes of the plant. Because they grow deep underground, these bulbs are dense, compact, and packed with natural colour. While they require heavy-duty machinery to grind, they offer a cost-effective, high-yield raw material for bulk spice processing, oleoresin extraction, and food manufacturing.

The active compound responsible for golden-yellow colour, health benefits, and pricing; higher curcumin yields richer extraction value and colour strength.
Traditional boiling and thorough sun-drying gelatinizes starch, fixes internal curcumin, and prevents transit brittleness and insect infestation.
Strict control prevents transit sweating, internal mould formation, and rapid aflatoxin degradation across ocean freight.
Fully cured fingers emit a clean, pungent earthy fragrance and produce a sharp, metallic "snap" when broken; soft or musty roots signal poor drying.
Lab-verified 100% pure turmeric, certified free from synthetic yellow dyes, metanil yellow, or toxic lead chromate polishing.
Our turmeric fingers range from 1% to 5%+ curcumin depending on the variety—from Nizamabad (1%–2.5%) up to Salem Polished (4%–5%+).
