Alleppey turmeric, scientifically known as Curcuma longa, originates from the Alleppey region in Kerala, India, a coastal area renowned for its fertile soil and ideal humid climate, perfect for turmeric cultivation. Named after the port city of Alleppey (now Alappuzha), this turmeric variety is primarily traded in this district, which has been a historic spice trade hub for centuries. The region’s rich, loamy soils and tropical conditions contribute to the turmeric’s distinctive deep orange-yellow color and high curcumin content, averaging 5–6.5%, compared to the 2–3% found in other varieties like Madras turmeric. Alleppey turmeric is grown from rhizomes, typically planted between May and August, and harvested after 7–9 months when the leaves turn yellow. Its cultivation is often organic, with natural manures used to enhance quality, and it’s a key crop in Kerala, alongside other spices like pepper and cardamom. This variety is prized for its earthy, slightly bitter flavor with hints of lemon and mint, making it a staple in Indian curries, Ayurvedic remedies, and global culinary applications.
