Turmeric Powder (Curcuma longa) – Ground Culinary Spice

Turmeric Powder (Curcuma longa) brings a rich golden colour and warm, earthy flavour to everyday cooking. Made from the dried, ground rhizome of the turmeric plant, this versatile spice is a staple in curries, rice dishes, soups and savoury seasoning blends.
