Turmeric 80g
The Golden Spice of Life
For centuries, turmeric has been revered as much for its vibrant colour as for its warm, earthy flavour. Our turmeric is carefully ground from dried rhizomes, delivering a distinctive taste that is slightly bitter, peppery, and musky, with an unmistakable golden hue that has earned it the nickname "Indian Saffron."
This is the spice that gives curries their characteristic colour and depth, but its uses extend far beyond. It's a natural wonder for adding a sunny colour to rice, mustards, and sauces, and is a celebrated staple in wellness practices for its active compound, curcumin.
Why Choose Our Ground Turmeric?
Vibrant Natural Colour: Provides a rich, golden-yellow colour to curries, rice, mustards, and sauces, making dishes visually appealing.
Warm, Earthy Flavour: Offers a distinctive earthy, slightly bitter taste that is the foundation of many spice blends.
Wellness Properties: A traditional ingredient celebrated in Ayurvedic practice for its properties, thanks to the compound curcumin.
100% Pure & Natural: Contains nothing but pure, ground turmeric. No additives, fillers, or anti-caking agents.
Culinary Inspiration: How to Use Turmeric
Unlock the golden potential of this versatile spice:
Curries & Dals: The essential base for Indian curries, dals, and spice pastes, providing colour and depth.
Golden Milk & Lattes: The key ingredient in soothing turmeric lattes and golden milk.
Rice & Grains: Add a pinch to rice, quinoa, or couscous while cooking for a beautiful colour and subtle flavour.
Roasted Vegetables: Toss cauliflower, potatoes, or carrots with oil and turmeric before roasting.
Salad Dressings & Smoothies: Add a pinch to vinaigrettes or smoothies for a colour and wellness boost.
How to Use: For the best flavour and colour, fry the turmeric gently in oil for 30 seconds at the beginning of cooking to "bloom" its properties. Always be cautious, as it can stain surfaces easily.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place to protect its vibrant colour and potency.
Ingredients: 100% Ground Turmeric.
