Cherished around the world for its vibrant color and medicinal properties, turmeric is as powerful as it is necessary in recipes across continents. What sets our unique golden turmeric apart from the rest is the tropical climate of Java that it depends on to develop an earthy, sweet and floral flavor profile - something you have to see and taste to believe the difference!
Ingredients
Organic turmeric powder
Origin
Central Java, Indonesia
Turmeric thrives, much like we would, among trees bearing juicy mangoes on the island of Java, Indonesia. A lush tropical climate, fertile forest floor and cooling tree canopy make the ideal growing conditions for the native tuber, harvested by farmers at its fleshiest and most vibrant orange—eight or nine months into the growing cycle—before it’s sliced and sun-dried. Prized for the therapeutic properties of its hero compound curcumin, our potent Java turmeric contains up to 8% of the natural antioxidant, four times higher than the average spice bottle.
Tips for Success
Turmeric flavor is released when fried in oil. When mixed with lemon or acidic ingredients the yellow color becomes more vibrant.
