Turmeric Powder – 500g

Turmeric powder is a vibrant yellow spice derived from the root of the turmeric plant (Curcuma longa), which is native to Southeast Asia. It is a key ingredient in many Indian, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian dishes, known for its earthy, slightly bitter flavor and warm, mustard-like aroma. The primary active compound in turmeric, curcumin, is responsible for its distinctive golden color and many of its potential health benefits, including its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Turmeric powder is commonly used in curries, rice dishes, soups, and stews, adding both flavor and a beautiful color to food. Beyond its culinary use, turmeric has been valued in traditional medicine for centuries, particularly in Ayurveda, for its potential to aid digestion, improve skin health, and support overall well-being. While it’s a common pantry staple in many households, turmeric should be used in moderation, as its strong flavor can easily overpower dishes.
