Ground Turmeric Root Powder

Ground turmeric root powder (High Quality – minimum 3% curcumin) has a musky, tart flavour with a light peppery, ginger aroma. Owing to its shocking golden colour, turmeric was used as a dye for centuries in the Asian continent before its transition into the culinary world.

Nowadays turmeric is a staple for curries, dals and the popular golden milk. Try using in pilau rice to achieve its distinctive golden hue. Use in homemade Laska, Thai curries and paired with black salt and tofu for vegan scrambled eggs!
