Turmeric Powder

Turmeric powder is a bright yellow-orange spice that has an earthy aroma and a slightly bitter taste. This spice is often used in Indian and Southeast Asian cuisine to enhance curries, stews and rice dishes. It contains curcumin, which is known for its powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. In addition to its culinary uses, turmeric also has a historical background as a natural dye. However, it should be used with caution as it can stain surfaces and textiles.
