Turmeric

REFEM’s turmeric is sourced from northern Nigeria who account for 90% of the country’s production of this fragrant and versatile crop. Turmeric is commonly used for conditions involving pain and inflammation, such as osteoarthritis. It is also used for hay fever, depression, high cholesterol, a type of liver disease, and itching. Some people use turmeric for heartburn, thinking and memory skills, inflammatory bowel disease, stress, and many other conditions, but there no good scientific evidence to support these uses.

Nigeria's Finest Product

Nigeria is the fourth largest producer of turmeric with about 3% of the global annual production. REFEM is equipped to ship internationally, with dried-split turmeric being the most commonly requested variation.
