Introduction: Why Turmeric is Booming in China’s Health and Nutrition Market
Did you know turmeric has become one of China’s hottest Health Ingredients? In 2019, turmeric officially earned a spot on China’s food and medicinal raw material lists—opening the door for innovative nutrition supplements across the nation.
A recent industry report forecasts China’s turmeric market will only keep growing, with consumers demanding more natural, healthy functional foods and high-quality turmeric supplements. In 2022, the market reached 231 million RMB, with balanced supply and demand. Looking ahead, this golden root is set to become a foundation for global Health Supplements, food supplements, and cutting-edge product innovation.
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.
Food Safety: How Safe is Sichuan Turmeric?
SINOFN Health prioritizes food safety at every step of turmeric supplement manufacturing:
- Traceability Systems: We work with both small farms and plantations, but always ensure robust tracking protocols.
- Low Chemical Risks: Few pests mean less pesticide use—and less residue.
- Heavy Metal Controls: Modern washing methods dramatically reduce heavy metal risks.
- Clean Processing: All using clean energy and GMP-level screening.
Bottom line? Authentic Sichuan turmeric ranks as a low-risk, high-quality ingredient for global nutrition supplements.
