About Us

Our story

More than a brand — a movement

HorticoGreens is a movement rooted in honesty, authenticity and sustainability. Established in 2018 by three eminent horticulturists, we began by reviving genuine Kasthuri Turmeric (Curcuma aromatica), prized for its cosmetic and therapeutic uses.

Worried by inferior substitutes such as Curcuma zedoaria, we set out to offer 100% pure, chemical-free Kasthuri Turmeric directly to the public. Today our range also includes traditionally processed Panam Kalkandu and Raw Nendran Banana Powder, with more to come.
