Turmeric Finger (Maharashtra FAQ Grade) refers to the Fair Average Quality (FAQ) grade of turmeric cultivated in the western state of Maharashtra, India. This grade is known for its natural aroma, earthy yellow-orange color, and moderate curcumin content, typically ranging between 2.5% to 3%, making it suitable for both domestic consumption and industrial processing.
Maharashtra is one of the significant turmeric-producing states in India. The FAQ Grade turmeric finger is mostly sun-dried, hand-picked, and sorted to maintain the basic export standards. Though it may contain a slightly higher percentage of foreign particles or uneven finger sizes compared to premium grades, it still retains the essential properties of turmeric—anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant effects.
This grade is widely used in the spice milling industry, where it is ground into powder for culinary use. It is also used in natural dye industries, traditional medicine production, and for bulk spice distribution. The FAQ grade is in high demand due to its cost-effectiveness and acceptable quality, especially for buyers seeking volume-based procurement.
Because of its affordability and wide availability, Maharashtra FAQ Grade Turmeric is ideal for wholesalers, bulk processors, and traders, particularly in South Asia, Middle East, and African markets.
