Important Note

Due to the exceptional hardness of dried turmeric root, we strongly advise against grinding it using grinders with plastic components. This could damage your appliance. For a convenient alternative, explore our range of finely ground turmeric powder, also available on our site.

Culinary Uses

Turmeric, a richly-colored spice, is a staple in Indian cuisine and beyond. Its earthy, slightly peppery flavor adds a unique depth to a wide variety of dishes:

• Savory Dishes: Enhance the taste of meats (pork, beef, lamb, poultry), vegetables, beans, sauces (including mustard), salads, stews, soups, pilaf, and more.
• Baking & Confectionery: Add a subtle warmth and distinctive yellow hue to baked goods and sweets.
• Beverages: Infuse a vibrant color and flavor into both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, such as liqueurs.
• Spice Blends: Turmeric is a key ingredient in many popular spice blends, most notably curry powder.

Usage Tips

Use turmeric sparingly. For example, a mere ¼ teaspoon per 1 kg of rice is sufficient when preparing pilaf. Add it before the rice to ensure it dissolves completely in the liquid and imparts its signature yellow color.

Potential Health Benefits

Turmeric is also renowned for its potential health benefits. It’s a popular ingredient in “golden milk,” a soothing beverage believed to assist with joint inflammation, immune support, heart health, weight management, and blood sugar control.
