    Organic turmeric is a spice that is derived from the turmeric root. Turmeric root is cultivated 100% organically on our farm using ancient Vedic farming techniques.  

    Turmeric is known for its bright yellow color and pungent flavor, and is commonly used in Asian cuisine, particularly in Indian, Thai, and Middle Eastern dishes.

    It has been grown without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. It is also free from genetic modification and irradiation, which makes it a popular choice for those who are concerned about the potential health risks associated with conventional farming methods.

    Turmeric has been used in traditional medicine for centuries, and is believed to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, is known for its potential health benefits, including reducing inflammation, improving brain function, and reducing the risk of certain chronic diseases.

    Organic turmeric can be used in a variety of ways, such as adding it to curries, soups, and stews, or using it to flavor rice, vegetables, and meat dishes. It can also be used to make golden milk, a popular beverage in Ayurvedic medicine.

    Turmeric has a strong yet mild earthy aroma and a deep fluorescent orange to bright yellow color.

    Authenticity Test

    Adulteration of turmeric powder is unfortunately a common problem, and can include the addition of fillers such as starch or other powders, or the use of artificial dyes to enhance the color. Here are a few tests that can help identify the presence of adulterants in turmeric powder:

    1. Water test: Mix a teaspoon of turmeric powder to a glass of warm water and allow it to settle for 15–20 minutes. Pure turmeric powder will settle at the bottom of the glass. Impure turmeric powder or fillers or other adulterants will float on the surface or create a cloudy appearance.
    2. Paper test: Put a small amount of turmeric powder on a piece of white paper and sprinkle a few drops of water on it. If the powder leaves a yellow stain on the paper, it is likely pure turmeric. If the color appears green, blue, or red, this may indicate the presence of artificial dyes.
    3. Iodine test: Mix a small amount of turmeric powder with a few drops of iodine solution. If the mixture turns blue or black, this may indicate the presence of starch fillers, which react with iodine in this way.
    4. pH test: Mix a small amount of turmeric powder with water to make a paste, and then dip a pH test strip into the mixture. Pure turmeric powder typically has a pH between 6.5 and 7.5. If the pH is outside this range, it may indicate the presence of an adulterant.

    • Several brain disorders and age-related declines in brain function may be delayed or even reversed by curcumin. As stated in an article by Forbes Health, curcumin could also aid in the prevention or alleviation of the signs and symptoms of other neurodegenerative illnesses, including dementia, Huntington's disease, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease (2). 
    • It can help prevent cancer. The Journal of the National Cancer Institute stated that curcumin had demonstrated its ability to combat cancer in the lab and, more subsequently, in the clinic. (3).

    Product FAQs 

    Q. What is Turmeric powder? 

    The scientific name for turmeric is Curcuma Longa. It is a rhizome, or underground stem, of a ginger family plant. It is indigenous to India and Southeast Asia, where people have used it for food and medicine for countless generations.

    Q. What is Curcumin? 

    Turmeric's distinctive yellow color is produced by curcumin, a chemical separated or extracted from turmeric. It belongs to the group of chemicals called curcuminoids. The largest amount of curcumin, averaging 3.14% by weight, is found in pure turmeric powder.  It is a miraculous substance that enhances the properties of turmeric.

    Q. How much turmeric can I consume in a day? 

    There is no hard-and-fast rule. Although there are no official dosing recommendations, the precise dose may vary depending on the medical condition you'reseeking to treat. Nevertheless, research indicates that consuming 500–2,000 mg (about twice the weight of a small paper clip) of turmeric daily may have significant advantages, especially in extract form.

    Q. How is turmeric powder best absorbed? 

    Turmeric is better absorbed when consumed with food. This is due to the presence of a substance called lecithin. Lecithin aids in the body's absorption of turmeric. The greatest foods to pair with turmeric are fatty ones like eggs and vegetable oils. You could also combine it with pepper because the presence of piperine in pepper increases the absorbability of turmeric.

    Q. How much curcumin can I consume in a day? 

    Clinical human trials demonstrated that doses as high as 8 grams of curcumin are non-toxic. However, large dosages of curcumin are not suggested long term due to a lack of studies establishing its safety, so choosing the right turmeric powder for you is critical.
