Description
Turmeric is an important part of not only the kumaoni culture but India in general. This Himalayan turmeric or Haldi is harvested every three years during the months of November and December to get a rich yellow. It is a common practice in the Kumaon Himalayas to cultivate turmeric for personal use, either in cooking or for religious purposes. Avani has monetized this practice by collecting homemade turmeric roots from local households to provide supplementary income across remote villages.
These roots are then dried and ground into powder using a machine that runs on bio-energy produced by Avani. Thus making the whole process local and green!
