Organic ground turmeric: seasoning, colouring and natural medicine

Organic ground turmeric is, without a doubt, one of the most versatile spices in the world. Not only does it serve as a seasoning, but you can also use it as a colouring agent. Thirdly, it possesses various medicinal properties. The organic ground turmeric that you can order from us online is cultivated in an entirely environmentally friendly manner and comes from India. The spice is also known as koenjit, yellow root, and formerly as tarmeriek. You can buy the ground spice with its warm, yellow colour online in a 500-gram shaker jar.

What products does organic ground turmeric pair with?

Turmeric has a mildly bitter taste and is related to ginger. It is the root of the Curcuma Longa plant. Although it is mainly used as a colouring agent and is primarily added to soups, rice, and cooked vegetables, its function certainly does not stop there. The flavour of organic ground turmeric pairs wonderfully with sweet potato, carrot, and pumpkin. The sweet flavours of these vegetables, combined with the slightly bitter taste of turmeric, create a balanced whole. Other herbs that turmeric pairs well with include coriander, cinnamon, cumin, fennel, and ginger. In North Africa, the spice is often eaten in combination with lamb and vegetable dishes. Add ground turmeric at the end of the cooking process.

Organic ground turmeric and curcumin

Organic ground turmeric can also be used effectively as a medicine or pain reliever. In the case of a cold, tea with lemon, ginger, and turmeric will help you recover quickly. Organic ground turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties and is also a powerful antioxidant. The substance curcumin is responsible for these beneficial properties. Curcumin is also the substance that is permitted as food colouring E-100 in foodstuffs. To absorb curcumin even better, you should also use black pepper. The substance piperine found in black pepper ensures that the components of organic ground turmeric are better released. Olive oil has the same effect as black pepper.
