At HorticoGreens, we’re not just a brand — we’re a movement rooted in honesty, authenticity, and sustainability. Founded by three passionate horticulturists in 2018, our journey began with a mission to revive and promote Genuine Kasthuri Turmeric (Curcuma aromatica), renowned since ancient times for its cosmetic and therapeutic virtues.
This mission was born out of concern over the influx of inferior substitutes like Curcuma zedoaria, often harvested from forests by middlemen. In response, we now offer 100% pure, chemical-free Kasthuri Turmeric directly to the public.
Expanding our vision, we’ve introduced other nature-derived treasures , safe , healthy and unadulterated food products such as Panam Kalkandu and Raw Nendran Banana Powder.Many more new products are in the pipeline continuing our commitment to purity, tradition, and holistic wellness.
The strength of HorticoGreens lies in the expertise and passion of its founders — three professionals who blend academic excellence, field experience, and business insight to promote sustainable horticulture and authentic natural products.
