Description
Dry Turmeric is made from carefully selected, mature turmeric fingers that are naturally dried to retain their characteristic golden color, earthy aroma, and distinctive flavor. Turmeric is a traditional Indian spice widely used in everyday cooking.
It can be used whole or ground into turmeric powder and is ideal for curries, gravies, rice dishes, soups, marinades and spice blends. Its warm, slightly bitter and earthy taste adds depth and natural color to food.
