ODH is the official online partner of KASAM through a formal MoU to promote authentic Kandhamal Haldi to the world.
Know more about our partnership
KASAM (Kandhamal Apex Spices Association for Marketing) represented the turmeric ecosystem of Kandhamal and applied for the GI registration of Kandhamal Haldi. The application was facilitated and filed on behalf of KASAM by the Intellectual Property Facilitation Centre (IPFC) of CTTC, Bhubaneswar.
Through this partnership, ODH connects the traditional Kandhamal turmeric ecosystem with urban kitchens across India and the world — bringing authentic, tribal-collected and hand-processed Kandhamal Haldi to the modern plate.
Kandhamal Turmeric Powder (Kasam Haladi) is a GI-tagged (Geographical Indication) premium turmeric from Kandhamal, Odisha. This authentic turmeric is grown by tribal farmers in the mineral-rich soils of the andhamal hills, known worldwide for its exceptionally high curcumin content and deep golden color.

The GI tag certifies that this turmeric originates exclusively from Kandhamal district and possesses unique characteristics that cannot be replicated elsewhere. Traditionally grown by tribal communities using age-old farming practices, this turmeric is naturally processed without synthetic chemicals or additives.
Sourced and marketed by KASAM (Kandhamal Apex Spices Association for Marketing), this turmeric powder is stone-ground to preserve its natural oils, aroma, and medicinal properties. The traditional processing methods ensure that the turmeric retains its authentic flavor profile and health benefits.

Kandhamal turmeric is naturally rich in curcumin, the active compound responsible for its strong color and health benefits, making it more potent than regular turmeric. It is widely recognized as one of the best turmeric varieties in Odisha.

Kandhamal turmeric is renowned for its superior quality due to the unique agro-climatic conditions of the Kandhamal district. The combination of high altitude, specific soil composition, and traditional cultivation practices results in turmeric with higher curcumin levels compared to regular varieties. This makes it highly sought after for both culinary and traditional Ayurvedic applications.
Bring home authentic Kandhamal turmeric and experience the richness of traditionally grown, high-curcumin haldi sourced directly from tribal farmers.
Hand-processed using traditional drying and stone-pounding methods.
After harvesting, turmeric rhizomes are cleaned, naturally dried, and then hand-pounded or ground using traditional tools. This slow, manual process avoids overheating, helping retain the turmeric’s natural color, aroma, and character.
How is the quality and purity of Kandhamal Turmeric Powder checked?
Quality and purity are ensured through a combination of traditional checks and basic safety practices:
Single-ingredient sourcing – Only dried Kandhamal turmeric rhizomes are used, sourced from tribal producer groups organised under government-supported collectives and facilitated by Kasam. No colours, starch, or fillers are added.
Visual and aroma inspection – Turmeric is manually checked and cleaned for natural colour, aroma, and absence of foreign matter before processing.
Traditional processing control – The turmeric is processed in small batches at a controlled processing unit to avoid overheating or adulteration.
Clean handling and packing – The powder is packed hygienically to minimise moisture exposure and maintain everyday kitchen safety.
This product is not blended or chemically treated and is intended for regular household use.
Curcumin is one of the principal naturally occurring compounds responsible for turmeric's characteristic yellow colour. The curcumin percentage can vary between batches depending on the turmeric crop, cultivation conditions, storage and processing.
For this reason, Odisha Desi Haat does not claim a fixed curcumin percentage unless it is supported by a current laboratory test report or batch-specific certificate.
Quality and purity assessment can include checks for:
This Kandhamal Haldi is presented as a single-ingredient turmeric product. No artificial colour, starch or filler is intentionally added to the product.
The turmeric is sourced through the Kandhamal turmeric ecosystem associated with KASAM (Kandhamal Apex Spices Association for Marketing) and processed in controlled batches. This traceable sourcing approach helps preserve the identity and authenticity of Kandhamal Turmeric.
Laboratory testing provides objective evidence that complements traditional quality checks. Visual colour, aroma and texture can help identify the natural characteristics of turmeric, but laboratory analysis is important when verifying measurable parameters such as curcumin, moisture and food-safety indicators.
Important: Laboratory values can vary from one crop or production batch to another. Any numerical test result should therefore be linked to the relevant batch number, test date and laboratory report rather than presented as a permanent specification for all Kandhamal Haldi.
Our focus is on authentic sourcing, transparent product information and responsible quality communication. Kandhamal Haldi is sourced from the Kandhamal region of Odisha and marketed through KASAM's turmeric ecosystem.
Where a laboratory report is available for the specific batch, the report should be used as the authoritative source for the corresponding test values.
