Cleaning: The harvested turmeric rhizomes are cleaned thoroughly to remove dirt, debris, and any other foreign particles.
Boiling or Steaming: Turmeric roots may be boiled or steamed to facilitate easier peeling of the outer skin and to soften the rhizomes.
Drying: After boiling or steaming, the turmeric roots are dried to reduce moisture content. This step is crucial for preventing mold growth during storage.
Polishing: Dried turmeric roots are polished to improve their appearance by removing any remaining outer skin and making them shiny.
Grinding: The polished turmeric roots are ground into a fine powder using industrial grinders. This step is essential to produce the final product that consumers use as a spice.
Packaging: Finally, the turmeric powder is packaged into different sizes of bags or containers for distribution and sale in the market.
