Product Description

Blue Jay Oriental Foods is a wholesale supplier of Thai White Turmeric for international produce and food-service markets, subject to product availability and confirmation of botanical identity.

White Turmeric is a rhizome from the ginger family, commonly associated with Curcuma zedoaria. Depending on the variety and local naming conventions, it may be used in traditional cooking, spice preparations, and regional culinary applications. The rhizome typically has pale cream to ivory-coloured flesh and a distinctive aromatic flavour.

Fresh White Turmeric may be used sliced, crushed, grated, or incorporated into selected traditional dishes and seasoning preparations, depending on the confirmed species and intended culinary use.

Blue Jay Oriental Foods aims to supply carefully selected rhizomes suitable for wholesale distribution, food retailers, restaurants, and food manufacturers. Product identity, quality parameters, packaging, and export suitability should be confirmed before commercial shipment.

Important product identification note: The common name “White Turmeric” can refer to different rhizomes in different markets. Curcuma zedoaria is commonly known as zedoary or white turmeric, but it must not be confused with other white-fleshed rhizomes, including Thai fingerroot (Boesenbergia rotunda). The exact botanical species should be confirmed with the supplier before the product is sold or exported for human consumption.
