Description

Organic Turmeric Powder has a long history of use in India.

Organic Turmeric Powder has been a staple in India for centuries, but the West have only just started to pick up on how special this root is.  Turmeric is a natural source of curcumin and it is this active ingredient which has bought so much attention to turmeric in recent years.

With its bright orange colour (beware of kitchen sideboard spillages) and warm flavour organic turmeric is a great addition to many meals.  If you like curry then turmeric is probably already on your regular shopping list, but have you experimented with less common turmeric recipes yet?  If not then try one of our tried and tested recipes for golden milk, a pretty parfait pot or a feisty turmeric shot.

Many mainstream turmeric products do not have strict regulations for artificial dyes and lead levels.  You can be sure that our organic turmeric goes through thorough testing to make sure it meets strict organic standards and is naturally bright in colour due to quality and freshness.

Our organic turmeric has curcumin levels of at least 2% which means a tablespoon contains about 136mg of curcumin.

One serving (7g) of turmeric is high in fibre and a source of manganese and iron.  Manganese contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, formation of connective tissue and the protection of cells from oxidative stress.  Iron contributes to normal cognitive function, immune system function, reduction of tiredness, energy-yielding metabolism, formation of red blood cells, transportation of oxygen and cell division.

If you want to get creative then have a go at this plant based turmeric chickpea omelette.

Family Tip:

  1. We love to use turmeric daily in our stews, sauces and curries.
  2. Ideally you should mix it with black pepper and oil (after it is taken off the heat) which brings out the best of its nutritional value.
  3. It makes a lovely bedtime drink called ‘golden milk‘.  This highlights its unique flavour and offers a daily dose of goodness – we like this best with our home made hemp milk.
