What is organic turmeric powder?
Organic Turmeric Powder is crafted from the sun-dried rhizomes of Curcuma longa, a golden-hued spice cultivated in the fertile volcanic soils of Kerala, India. Known as the “Golden Spice of Life,” this vibrant powder has been revered for millennia in Ayurvedic medicine for its potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Our turmeric is organically farmed without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers, ensuring USDA Organic and EU Organic compliance.
Processed using traditional stone-grinding techniques, the powder retains its natural oils and bioactive compounds, including ≥5% curcuminoids—the highest concentration in its natural form. With an earthy aroma and warm, peppery flavor, it is a versatile ingredient for culinary, nutraceutical, and cosmetic applications.
