Turmeric Powder

About Me.

Turmeric powder is made by drying and grinding the rhizomes of the Curcuma longa plant. Famous for its vibrant golden-yellow color and earthy, slightly bitter flavor, turmeric has been a cornerstone of Indian cooking, Ayurveda, and traditional medicine for thousands of years.

​

Often called the “Golden Spice” or “Indian Saffron”, turmeric is celebrated not only as a culinary ingredient but also as a powerful natural healer.

 

Its active compound, curcumin, is known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunity-boosting properties. From curries and rice dishes to teas and lattes, turmeric powder adds both color and wellness to food and beverages.
