Features

Organic Turmeric Root: Sourced from the rhizome of the Curcuma longa plant, turmeric is a flowering plant native to Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent, belonging to the ginger family. This vibrant root is extracted and commonly used in foods, particularly within Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines. When ground, it enhances flavor in mustards, baked goods, and other dishes.

Versatile Ingredient: Our turmeric root is ground into a fine powder to intensify flavor while also imparting a yellowish-gold hue to your dishes. Whether added to biscuit mixes, sauces, or mustard, or incorporated into your favorite baked items, it’s the perfect way to enhance your culinary creations. Its signature golden color and mildly bitter taste bring a unique touch, reminiscent of mustard, to your table.

Robust, Bitter Flavor: Known primarily for its connection to curry—especially Indian varieties—turmeric is also a fantastic addition to mustards, pickles, dressings, eggs, and rice. Its pungent and slightly bitter flavor profile can elevate the taste of any meal.

Organic, Fair-Trade Certified: Our turmeric root is ethically sourced from India and Nicaragua, following organic and non-irradiated practices. It is also 100% Kosher and Fair Trade Certified, ensuring that farming families receive fair compensation through direct trade. At every step of cultivation and production, we guarantee that no artificial additives or chemicals are involved.
