Ground Zero: Leshan, Sichuan—the Heart of Chinese Turmeric

At SINOFN, we believe the best turmeric starts at its origin. Our 2025 field report takes you to Leshan, Sichuan, where we evaluated everything: from cultivation and planting, to fertilization, harvesting, processing, and quality control. Why does origin matter? Unique soil, climate, and farming techniques all influence the quality of your favorite turmeric supplements.

What’s Special About Sichuan Turmeric?

  • Brighter Golden Color: More vibrant than imported turmeric, making it appealing for powder supplement manufacturing and food products.
  • Distinct Aroma and Taste: Milder and slightly woody; less pungent than most imported roots. (Wondering what turmeric tastes like? Earthy, peppery, with a gentle spice.)
  • Higher Curcumin and Oil Content: Key for supplement forms with enhanced health benefits.
  • Strict Controls: At SINOFN, we inspect for food safety and batch traceability, ensuring every turmeric supplement meets global standards.

From Farm to Capsule—How Sichuan Turmeric is Processed

  • Planting & Sowing: Grown at 300–600m altitude, in clay-rich terraces, turmeric is cultivated using healthy rhizomes for maximum yield and purity.
  • Fertilization: A mix of natural fertilizers like cow manure ensures sustainability.
  • Harvesting: Manual harvests between February and March preserve root quality.
  • Processing: Our partners wash, dry, peel, and dry the roots in carefully controlled steps—locking in flavor and bioactive curcumin.
  • Storage: Turmeric is kept in breathable bags, shielded from light, to retain freshness until it’s time to transform it into supplements.

  • Heavy Metal Controls: Modern washing methods dramatically reduce heavy metal risks.
  • Clean Processing: All using clean energy and GMP-level screening.
