Turmeric Powder (>5% Curcumin)

Botanical name: Curcuma longa

We source Organic Turmeric Powder (>5% Curcumin*) from India. This is packed in a recyclable, amber coloured, glass jar with an airtight induction seal, on receipt of your order, to maximise freshness.

Turmeric Powder (>5% Curcumin*) has a dark yellow colour and a very pungent, rich and musky aroma. The flavour is more bitter than the standard Turmeric Powder. While it can be used for cooking, it has been used for many purposes in traditional Indian culture for thousands of years.

Turmeric Powder (>5% Curcumin*) has become fashionable in Turmeric tea, Turmeric lattes, smoothies, salad dressings or Golden Milk. Ideally it is combined with Ginger, Cinnamon, Clove and Black Pepper.

There are several chemical compounds in Turmeric Powder, principal being Curcuminoids. Curcumin is the active substance in Curcuminoids. Research on Curcumin is in its infancy. We recommend researching various sources to evaluate the benefits of Turmeric (e.g. https://examine.com/supplements/curcumin/). We highly recommend adding Black Pepper with Turmeric Powder.

Turmeric Powder should be handled carefully as it can leave a yellow stain on your hands, utensils and clothing. Place the washed utensils and clothing under sunlight for the yellow stain to fade away. The stain on the hands will usually fade within a day.
