Description
Botanical Name: Curcuma longa
Turmeric powder is prepared from the dried and finely milled roots of Curcuma longa, a perennial plant from the ginger family. Once ground, turmeric releases its full intensity immediately, making it the preferred form for fast cooking, spice blends and everyday seasoning.
Spice Zen’s Certified Organic Turmeric Powder is sourced from India and milled for vibrant colour and consistency. When the jar is opened, it releases a rich, woody aroma layered with citrus, floral and ginger like notes. On the palate, turmeric is gently bitter and mildly sour, with a warm, musky depth that forms the backbone of many savoury dishes.
Turmeric powder disperses evenly through food, delivering uniform colour and flavour with minimal cooking time.

Wellness Notes
Across Indian, Middle Eastern and North African cuisines, turmeric powder has long been used as a foundational spice added at the start of cooking. In Persian kitchens, it is often combined with dried limes to flavour slow cooked stews of meat, lentils and tomatoes. In India, Asia and South Africa, turmeric is frequently added to rice for colour and warmth.
In Ayurveda, turmeric is traditionally regarded as one of the most versatile and respected kitchen botanicals, valued for its warming, cleansing and balancing nature. It has long been incorporated into daily cooking, drinks and household routines, where food itself is considered a primary pathway to maintaining balance.
Turmeric is traditionally described as tridoshic, with a particular affinity for supporting Kapha and Pitta balance when used appropriately in meals. It has been commonly included in everyday dishes, warm drinks and seasonal preparations to support digestion, internal clarity and overall resilience.
