Botanical Name: Curcuma longa
Certifier: *NOP
Origin: India
Production: Turmeric fingers are dried and cut.
Qualities: Also known as Indian saffron, or the "Spice of Life", turmeric is the rhizome of an herbaceous perennial plant native to India, and in the same family as ginger. Turmeric is considered a powerful antioxidant due to its curcumin content and its long list of health attributes including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anticancer, neuroprotective, immune balancing, and detoxifying properties. In Ayurvedic medicine it is also used topically to treat skin problems and infection and to relieve joint pain. Although curcumin can also be found in extract form, the advantage of turmeric as a whole herb is that it stays in the digestive tract longer, releasing curcumin along with other beneficial substances over more time, instead of passing through the system unnoticed by the body.
Common Use: Turmeric, c/s (cut and sifted) is an amazing base for teas, chai, and golden milks. It blends beautifully and can be simmered and steeped with ginger, cinnamon, clove, cardamom, vanilla and many other ingredients. Use when making soup stock or medicinal broths to increase nutritional value. It adds a fragrant, pungent flavor, and many health benefits. It is recommended to consume Turmeric with a source of fat (oil, cream, vegan or dairy milk) in order to increase absorption of curcumin, as well as with a pinch of black pepper (or whole pepper for teas) which contains Piperine, a natural substance that can boost the bioavailability of curcumin by 2000%. (reference: http://nutritionfacts.org/video/boosting-the-bioavailability-of-curcumin/)
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
Safety: We recommend that you consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using any herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications.

Lilian O. CanadaPerfect to make golden milk for me!
Excellent product, as soon as the bag is opened the aroma is just great!I use it to prepare turmeric golden milk, with ginger and black pepper in coconut milk as one of my tools to fight inflammation.I prefer the root chunks to a powder as I like to bite on the little bits of root

Angela V. CanadaExcellent Quality
The tumeric along with all the other products I received are of excellent quality. I simmered elderberries, tumeric, ginger, cloves and cinnamon to make a drink for my daughter's cold.. After 2 of these drinks she was good as new.

Christel M. CanadaTurmeric root
Love this product. My main usage of it is as a anti inflammatory. Bring a big mug of almond milk and a tsp of turmeric to a soft boil in a small pot. Turn it off and let sit for 10-15 mins.
