More Than Just Colour: The Essence of Turmeric

Looking for a spice that adds both incredible colour and complex flavour? Spice n Easy's Turmeric is a kitchen and wellness essential. Its unique, earthy profile is unmistakable and forms the foundational flavour of many beloved dishes around the world.

Why is Turmeric So Yellow?
The vibrant colour comes from curcumin, the main active compound in turmeric. This powerful pigment can easily stain, so it's often used as a natural dye for fabrics and food. A little goes a long way in the kitchen!

How to Use Turmeric in Your Kitchen:

• The Base of Curries: The first spice often added to hot oil to create the flavour foundation for Indian dhal, curries, and masalas.

• Golden Milk & Lattes: Whisk with plant-based milk, ginger, cinnamon, and a pinch of black pepper* for a comforting, wellness-inspired drink. *Adding black pepper enhances the bioavailability of curcumin.

• Colourful Rice & Grains: Add a pinch to rice, quinoa, or couscous while cooking for beautifully golden and flavourful sides.

• Pickling & Mustards: Provides classic colour and flavour in pickling brines and homemade mustards.

• Roasted Vegetables: Toss cauliflower, potatoes, or chickpeas with olive oil and turmeric before roasting for a flavour and colour boost.

• Salad Dressings: Whisk into vinaigrettes for a vibrant colour and warm, earthy note.

A Note: Turmeric's colour is potent! It can stain utensils and countertops, so handle with care.
