Turmeric is a well known, proclaimed superfood. Familiar in home kitchens as an orange-yellow powder or whole root – similar to its cousin, whole ginger, except for its bright orange colour under the skin – has been used as a staple in Asian cooking for thousands of years.

Turmeric is known for its powerful medicinal and anti-inflammatory properties thanks to curcumin, the potent active compound, which is effective in fighting a wide range of diseases. Curcumin is also a robust natural antioxidant and is responsible for giving turmeric its bright and vibrant yellow colour.
