The diversity of uses in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and textile industries encourages more and more manufacturers and distributors to opt for importing organic turmeric powder, as this yields higher profit margins. The key to importing organic turmeric without complications is to rely on an outsourcing company like Bull Importer, which manages all the procedures, from locating certified suppliers to delivery at the importer’s facilities.
Turmeric is a spice native to India, where its culinary, medicinal, and coloring uses have been widely spread for centuries. Although it was virtually unknown in the West until a few years ago, turmeric has now gained great popularity not only as the main ingredient in curry but also because it is marketed for many other purposes.
Importing organic turmeric powder directly from the producer increases the profit margins of industries that use its active ingredient for the production of food, cosmetics, dyes, oils, or fabrics.
Among other things, turmeric is used to enhance the color, flavor, and aroma of many foods, as it is a healthy alternative to chemical colorants, such as tartrazine, and much cheaper than saffron. The active ingredient in turmeric, called curcumin, is a polyphenol with numerous applications in processed foods, such as breakfast cereals and cookies, ice creams and yogurts, margarines, cheeses, broths, mayonnaises, or soft drinks. Its identification on labels is E-100, and it is considered a safe additive by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and other international organizations.
In cosmetics and pharmacy, it is used as a fixative and aromatic in the production of perfumes, beauty products, or sunscreens. Its intense yellow color is highly appreciated for providing color in the textile industry, in furniture manufacturing, in the paper industry, and in the production of waxes and oils.
How to import organic turmeric
The usual format of turmeric for industrial uses is powder since its importation is simpler and cheaper than in other presentations. Although it is cultivated throughout Southeast Asia, importing from India offers many advantages and incentives for companies due to its prices and production capacity.
