Like ginger, turmeric is a rhizome, an underground stem. It often replaces saffron for its colouring properties. However it deserves to be re-discovered for its other properties. Usually packaged in dried slices, turmeric possesses anti-inflammatory virtues. In our unique format of finely cut slices, it can be used as is. Desired quantities can also be ground just before use, using a hand mill. Turmeric has a high natural curcumin content of above 8%(image of certificate attached). Curcumin in turmeric gives it its bright yellow color and incredible healing properties.
