Kaali Kachri
It is highly valued in traditional medicine and rituals due to its deep blue or blackish rhizome and unique camphor-like aroma.
Bring the highly prized Karumanjal, or Kali Haldi, to your garden. Unlike its common yellow cousin, Curcuma caesia is distinguished by its deep bluish-black rhizome, intense aroma, and powerful properties.
This tropical perennial is easy to grow in pots or in the ground, making it accessible even in non-tropical zones if brought indoors during cold weather. It features attractive foliage and a rewarding, albeit slow, growth habit.
Key Features & Uses:
Rhizome: Known as Black Turmeric, the rhizome is potent and distinct from regular turmeric.
Growing Conditions: Karumanjal thrives in partial shade or filtered sunlight and requires rich, well-drained soil. It prefers warm, humid conditions and needs consistent moisture during its growing season (monsoons). Harvest the rhizomes in late winter when the leaves begin to dry back.
