Organic Manipur Black turmeric (Curcuma caesia), known locally in Manipuri as Yaingangamuba or Yaimu, is a high-value medicinal herb cultivated in the region. It is characterized by its bluish-black rhizome, camphor-like smell, and significant antioxidant/anti-inflammatory properties. In Imphal, it is available from suppliers like Harvest Fresh and various enterprises, often high priced between ₹1500–₹5,000 per kg depending on form and quality. Unlike the common yellow turmeric, Black Turmeric features a distinctive bluish-black interior that makes it instantly recognisable. This perennial herb has been treasured in traditional practices for generations and is now gaining recognition amongst gardeners and cultivators. The rhizomes are ideal for propagation and can be planted in well-drained soil with partial shade. Black Turmeric thrives in warm, humid conditions and requires regular watering during the growing season. Each rhizome contains the potential to develop into a full plant, producing beautiful foliage and eventually more rhizomes for harvest. Whether you’re an experienced farmer, a home gardening hobbyist, or someone interested in cultivating rare medicinal plants, these Kali Haldi rhizomes offer an excellent opportunity to grow this extraordinary species. Plant them during the appropriate season and watch as they develop into mature plants over the coming months.
