Turmeric

Turmeric is considered to be the ‘master spice. It is likely the most scientifically studied spice in the world. Ayurvedic healers are familiar with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and analgesic properties. It is a rhizome like ginger and has a distinctive rich, earthy flavor. The compound called curcumin is what gives turmeric it’s yellowish orange color. A little black ground pepper increases the bioavailability of this compound considerably so they should always be used together. Our turmeric has a particularly high level of curcumin (6%) which you will notice with the aroma and beautiful color. Many nutritional scientists would agree that if you only used one spice, it should be turmeric.
