Turmeric Powder

Turmeric Powder is a golden-yellow spice derived from the dried and ground rhizomes of the Curcuma longa plant. Widely used in Indian cuisine, it adds color, flavor, and aroma to a variety of dishes. Beyond its culinary appeal, turmeric is highly valued for its powerful medicinal properties, primarily due to curcumin — a natural compound known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial benefits.

India is one of the largest producers and exporters of turmeric powder, thanks to its favorable climate and rich agricultural heritage. The spice is not only a staple in households but also plays a vital role in Ayurveda and traditional medicine, where it’s used for treating skin conditions, digestive issues, and joint pain.
