Same rhizome, five finishes. The grade sets how the finger looks, how much it weighs after processing, and which markets it clears. Tell us your end use — we’ll match the grade to it.
- 01
Double Polished
Cleanest finish
Fingers pass through the polishing drum twice, removing all outer skin and root hair for a smooth, bright golden surface. Preferred by retail packers and export markets where appearance and uniformity sell the product.
Best fit — Retail packing · Premium export · Powder with bright colour
- 02
Single Polished
Balanced finish
One pass through the drum removes most skin and dust while keeping slightly more of the natural surface. A commercial standard that balances appearance with a lower processing cost per tonne.
Best fit — Bulk export · Grinding units · Wholesale
- 03
Washed
Natural surface
Fingers are cleaned of soil and dust with water after curing but are not polished. The skin remains, giving a duller, earthier look while preserving full weight and curcumin.
Best fit — Extraction · Oleoresin · Industrial grinding
- 04
Unwashed
As cured
Cured and sun-dried fingers straight from the yard, with no washing or polishing. The most economical form, sold by weight for buyers who process further in-house.
Best fit — Processors with own cleaning lines · Price-led volume
- 05
IPM Grade
Residue-controlled
Grown under Integrated Pest Management — controlled, documented crop protection with reduced chemical inputs — and tested for pesticide residues against destination-market limits (EU / FSSAI).
Best fit — EU & regulated markets · Food brands · Residue-sensitive buyers
