Organic Turmeric Powder (Import of India) 1.8 oz

Description

Introducing our Organic Turmeric Powder, carefully sourced and harvested in the state of Odisha, India. This vibrant yellow spice is not only a staple in South Asian cuisines but also a powerhouse of health benefits.

Botanically known as Curcuma longa, turmeric is the rhizome of an herbaceous perennial plant that belongs to the same family as ginger. Our turmeric is harvested, cleaned, and dried using solar or electric dryers at a maximum temperature of 32 degrees Celsius. The whole turmeric fingers are then tumbled for up to 6 hours, to remove the skin, resulting in a double polished, pure turmeric powder.

Turmeric is known for its potent antioxidant properties, thanks to its high curcumin content. This wonder spice has a long list of health attributes, including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anticancer, neuroprotective, immune balancing, and detoxifying properties. In Ayurvedic medicine, it is also used topically to treat skin problems and infections, and relieve joint pain.

Whether you’re using it in cooking, as a supplement, or even as a fabric dye, turmeric’s warm, peppery, and slightly bitter taste, and strong yellow color, make it a versatile ingredient. For maximum absorption of its health properties, it’s recommended to consume turmeric with a source of fat and a pinch of black pepper, which contains Piperine, a natural substance that can boost the bioavailability of curcumin by 2000%.

Store your turmeric powder in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container, and enjoy its health benefits for years to come. However, we recommend consulting with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using any herbal products, especially if you’re pregnant, nursing, or on any medications.
