This turmeric powder comes from Waigaon, Maharashtra - a terroir renowned for its
signature turmeric. We introduced regenerative farming practices among the small and
marginal farmers of the region, focusing on enriching their soil with organic carbon,
microbial life and bio-available nutrients.
The resulting turmeric is a nutrient powerhouse - with a remarkable curcumin content of
over
4%, making it one of the finest in the world.
With wonderful healing properties and immunity boosting potential balanced by its
distinctive flavour profile, this singular terroir product is for the truly discerning.
Use it to flavour up your curries and lattes or better still - to take your beauty
regime and detox rituals to the next level!
Our whole black peppercorn comes from deep within the forests of Araku Valley in Andhra
Pradesh. In our work with the tribal communities there, we introduced regenerative
agri-practices and enabled reforestation, helping them to revive their biodiverse
ecosystem and stabilise their livelihoods.
Sharing the same lush microclimate as our acclaimed Araku Coffee, this forest-born
pepper packs quite a punch!
With a high concentration of its active ingredient, Piperine, our pepper adds a
beautiful piquancy to your dishes while quietly working its medicinal magic on your
body.
At UFCo, we are working towards creating one of the world's largest regenerative farming ecosystems - right here in India. Learn about it directly from our partner farmers in Wardha, Maharashtra as they talk about their experience with our regenerative practices and processes.
For many of us, haldi doodh is the quintessential Indian drink. It was often a
non-negotiable part of our childhood bedtime routines and a mandatory companion on sick
days (even as adults).
Turmeric, black pepper and warm milk. Nothing fancy, just 3 basic ingredients found in
every Indian kitchen. Deceptively simple but together they make a combination so potent,
it's been handed down generations for centuries.
The magic lies in the active compounds of our hero spices - curcumin in turmeric and
piperine in pepper. Both compounds boast a host of healing properties - from fighting
free radicals and preventing heart diseases to aiding digestion and keeping inflammation
at bay.
However, what makes this combo so potent is piperine’s ability to increase the body’s
ability to absorb curcumin by a whopping 2000%!
So remember kids - kali mirch must always follow haldi for maximum benefit!

How to make: Stir all the ingredients together over a medium flame for about 5 minutes until your
