Description

Our Organic Ground Turmeric Root (Curcuma longa) has a minimum of 4% curcumin content. Curcumin is a group of antioxidant compounds found in the rhizome. It is golden-yellow in color, with a pungent earthy, distinctive aroma. Its flavor resembles both ginger and pepper. Indispensable in curry powders and East Indian cooking, turmeric is also used in prepared mustards and pickles, dressings, eggs, and rice dishes.

Throughout history, it was used as both a condiment and dye. Traded on ancient spice routes, Marco Polo made note of this plant. It's been widely used in Hindu wedding ceremonies, is associated with fertility and prosperity. Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani, and other traditional Indian medicine systems have relied on this pungent spice for centuries.
