Features:

• Organic Turmeric Root: Our Frontier Co-op Organic, Fair Trade Certified Turmeric (Curcuma Longa) comes from the rhizomes of a flowering plant within the ginger family, native to Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. These roots are harvested and utilized in various cuisines, particularly Asian and Middle Eastern dishes. When ground, turmeric adds a distinct flavor to mustards, baked goods, and many other culinary creations.

• Versatile Ingredient: The turmeric root is processed into a fine powder, designed to enhance not just flavor but also to impart a beautiful yellowish-gold hue to your dishes. Sprinkle it into biscuit mixes, sauces, or mustards, or incorporate it into your baked goods. This golden addition delivers a slight bitterness reminiscent of mustard, elevating your meals’ visual and taste appeal.

• Robust, Bitter Flavor: Turmeric is often associated with Indian curries but is also a fantastic addition to mustards, pickles, dressings, eggs, and rice. Its pungent, bitter flavor enhances the profile of any dish it graces.

• Organic, Fair-Trade Certified: Our Frontier Co-op Turmeric Root is sourced from India and Nicaragua through organic and non-irradiated methods. Every batch of our ground turmeric is 100% Kosher and Fair Trade Certified, meaning we ensure fair prices and direct trade practices that support farming communities. From cultivation to packaging, no artificial additives or chemicals are involved in any stage of the process.
