Organic Turmeric Powder, 150 g, Dragon Superfoods

The golden spice of Asian cuisine

Turmeric, or Curcuma longa, is a plant traditionally used in Indian cuisine and Ayurveda.

The dried root is finely ground into a vibrant golden powder with a warm, earthy and slightly bitter flavour. It adds colour, depth and a distinctive aromatic note to both savoury dishes and drinks.

Dragon Superfoods Organic Turmeric Powder contains one ingredient only: 100% organically grown turmeric.

Naturally contains curcumin

Turmeric naturally contains curcuminoids, including curcumin.

These naturally occurring plant compounds are responsible for the deep yellow-orange colour that makes turmeric instantly recognisable.

Because turmeric is used in small amounts, it is easy to include in everyday recipes without overpowering the other ingredients.

Traditionally valued in Ayurveda

Turmeric has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic traditions and in the cuisines of India and Southeast Asia.

It is commonly associated with warming recipes, digestion-focused meals and daily wellness routines.

Its intense colour and characteristic flavour make it a popular ingredient in curries, golden milk, soups and spice blends.
