Turmeric Powder

Turmeric, a plant in the ginger family also known as the golden spice is a tall plant that grows in Asia and Central America. Its rhizome (underground stem) is used as a culinary spice and traditional medicine. It is useful for its colour, flavour, cosmetics and medicinal properties. It has been used as important spice, beauty products and in spiritual ceremonies. It is also the ingredient that gives many Indian dishes their district yellow colour. Turmeric Powder is great spice to complement recipes that use rice, lentils and dry beans and also one of the main ingredients used in curry powder. Almost all vegetable and mutton dishes use turmeric either as separate spice or in the spice mixture.

• Turmeric imparts a musky flavor and vivid color to curries, vegetable dishes, rice, lentils, and dry beans, playing a crucial role in Indian cooking.
• Turmeric contains bioactive compounds with medicinal properties, serving as a natural anti-inflammatory agent and boosting the body’s antioxidant capacity.
• To preserve its aroma and flavor, store turmeric powder in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, tightly closing the container after each use to prevent volatilization and caking.
