Organic Turmeric Root Powder 12oz (340g)

NOTE: You can substantially boost the bioavailability of curcumin by adding a pinch of black pepper together with turmeric powder.Turmeric, sometimes known as the "Golden Spice" because of its distinctive yellow-orange hue, is the powdered spice that gives curry its bright yellow appearance. Turmeric root powder is obtained from the rhizome, or rootstalk, of the turmeric plant (Curcuma longa), which is then ground into a fine powder for increased bioavailability. A member of the ginger family, turmeric can be found growing wild in Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent and Hawaii. Turmeric plants thrive in humid, tropical climates, producing the tasty, nutrient-dense spice we all know and love.
