Organic Ground Turmeric

Turmeric stains everything it touches — your cutting board, your fingers, the dish itself, gold going on gold. That's not an accident of low quality. That's just what turmeric does.

Earthy, warm, a little bitter if you use too much. Good in a curry, in golden milk, in a rub that needs color as much as flavor. It's traditionally paired with black pepper. The two show up together in recipes from India to your morning golden milk.

Certified organic. Tested the same as everything else, because turmeric has its own history of being cut with things it shouldn't be cut with.

What is turmeric powder?

Turmeric powder is the dried, ground root of the Curcuma longa plant, a relative of ginger. It's earthy, warm and slightly bitter, and it gives curries and golden milk their bright yellow color.

How to use it

Start with ¼–½ teaspoon; a little goes a long way. Use it in curries, dal, rice, scrambled eggs, roasted cauliflower, soups and golden milk. Pair it with black pepper and a little fat, like oil, butter or coconut milk. It stains easily, so wipe up spills quickly.
