Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a deep, golden-orange spice known for adding colour, flavour and nutrition to foods. A relative of ginger, turmeric comes from the rhizome (root) of a native Asian plant named Curcuma longa, and has been used for culinary purposes for hundreds of years. Native to southern India and Indonesia, turmeric is widely cultivated in Sri Lanka, grown virtually in every home garden and back yard. It has also been used in ayurvedic and other forms of traditional medicine in China, Sri Lanka and India. The rhizome has a pepperlike aroma and a somewhat bitter warm taste and has a strong staining orange-yellow colour. The rhizome has a pungent orange flesh that can be used fresh but is most often found as a deep gold powder that’s used as a spice. The turmeric ground is made by boiling and drying the root then grinding it into a powder. Turmeric ground has a warm, bitter, black pepper-like flavour and earthy, mustard-like aroma.

The active ingredient in turmeric is a natural compound (polyphenol) called curcumin, which has both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Due to anti-inflammatory properties, turmeric is sometimes consumed as a tea or in pill form for a variety of ailments, including arthritis and intestinal problems. Today, oral (taken by mouth) turmeric is promoted as a dietary supplement for a variety of conditions, including allergies, itching, and high cholesterol. Topical (applied to the skin) turmeric is promoted for acne, eczema, psoriasis, and anti-aging. Research studies have shown some possible benefits of turmeric for inflammation, degenerative eye conditions, metabolic syndrome, arthritis, hyperlipidemia (cholesterol in the blood, anxiety, muscle soreness after exercise, and kidney health.

About Product

The deep, golden-orange rhizome — boiled, dried, and finely ground — delivers a warm, bitter, black pepper-like flavour with an earthy, mustard-like aroma, plus a strong staining colour and peppery warmth. Originating from southern India and Indonesia and cultivated widely in Sri Lanka, Aroma’J Turmeric Ground offers purity, tradition, and vibrant nutrition in curries, rice, and golden lattes — in every pinch.

Turmeric rhizomes (roots) can be used fresh, but they are often boiled in water and dried, after which they are ground into a deep orange-yellow shelf-stable spice powder commonly used as a coloring and flavouring agent in many Asian cuisines, especially for curries (curry powder). Turmeric essential oil is typically extracted from the powdered or dried rhizome of the Curcuma longa plant through a process called steam distillation. Fresh or dried, turmeric has an earthy, pleasantly bitter taste that magnifies the flavours of other spices. Its peppery, citrusy notes also make it a delicious spice for seasoning dishes all on its own, though it’s wise to always add a sprinkling of black pepper, which provides a spicy kick that counterbalances turmeric’s astringent side.
