Turmeric Root Powder, Organic

A member of the Zingiberaceae family, turmeric is indigenous to Southeastern and Eastern Asia. It has been a staple in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine for centuries - reports of its use can be traced back to 600 BC. Today, you'll find turmeric mostly cultivated in India and as a standout ingredient in kitchens worldwide.

Turmeric brings brilliant color and a robust, warm, peppery flavor to your favorite dishes. It's best known as the primary spice in curry, and it's also a standout in a variety of Middle Eastern and Asian cuisines. Sprinkle it in meat, rice, vegetable, and seafood dishes or use it to brew soothing golden milk.

Turmeric is more than a popular organic seasoning. Its distinctive orange-yellow color has made it useful in fabric dyes.
