Ground Turmeric

Description

 

Turmeric Powder comes from the rhizomes from the Curcuma Longa plant, which are dried heat treated and milled to a fine vibrant powder, which has a pungent bitter flavour and was traditionally called “Indian Saffron” and used in place of saffron because of its deep yellow- orange colour, it is used as a dye for clothing and adding a natural colour to food recipes,(curry sauces/gravies, mustard blends, pickles, relishes, rice, pasta and vegetables), but has long been known to be one of the world’s healthiest foods, found through studies to show that turmeric may help fight infections, reduce inflammation and treat digestive problems.
