Turmeric not from India?
most likely whats in your grocery store isnt from India, that would be my first try....also most herb stores have a at least one turmeric product not form India. (Frontier Coop, Starwest Botanicals etc) just do some googling, there are plenty of non Indian organic fair trade sources out there

I am very comfortable with these standards as " The EPA's standard for lead in bare soil in play areas is 400 ppmby weight and 1200 ppm for non-play areas " >https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/csem/csem.asp?csem=34&po=8
you can use good compost for the pot and plant some organic tumeric. Keep it moist and it will grow more or less like a weed. At least it did for me.
you can after harvesting just dry the roots and grind them in a kitchen mixer.
My brother and I are growing turmeric this year that sourced from Hawaii Clean Seed:
We purchased two different varieties of the turmeric and ginger.
@Obiora E thank you for listing a source to buy the plant. I want to try growing it myself😊
Thanks for this thread. I was not aware that we needed to avoid Turmeric from India. I just checked mine, it indicates packed in the USA but does not indicate country of origin.
@herbantherapy You are very welcome. So far so good. They are looking pretty healthy and I am going to feed them again tomorrow with some of my liquid fertilizer (aka Liquid O.N.E. Fertilizer) as one of them is a heavy feeder (I don't recall which one).
