What is organic turmeric powder?
Organic Turmeric Powder is meticulously produced from 100% pure, organically grown turmeric rhizomes. The process involves carefully harvesting the turmeric, thorough washing, gentle low-temperature drying to preserve its active compounds and vibrant color, and then finely milling the whole rhizome into a homogeneous, free-flowing powder. This method ensures that the full spectrum of beneficial compounds inherent in the whole spice, including curcuminoids (the primary active compounds), volatile oils, and other phytonutrients, is retained. The organic certification guarantees that the turmeric is cultivated and processed without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, GMOs, or artificial additives, aligning with strict clean-label and natural ingredient standards.
Organic Turmeric Powder is highly valued for its natural composition and versatile applications:
- Natural Anti-inflammatory Support: Contains naturally occurring curcuminoids (typically 2-5%), which contribute to managing the body’s healthy inflammatory response.
- Rich in Antioxidants: Provides natural antioxidant protection, helping to neutralize free radicals and protect cells from oxidative stress.
- Digestive & Liver Support: Traditionally used to aid digestion and support healthy liver function.
- Vibrant Natural Colorant: Imparts a beautiful, natural golden-yellow hue to products.
- Distinctive Earthy Flavor: Offers a warm, slightly pungent, and earthy flavor that enhances both savory and sweet applications.
With its holistic health benefits, captivating color, and unique flavor, our Organic Turmeric Powder is the ideal ingredient for manufacturers looking to enhance the functional profile, aesthetic appeal, and market value of their products with a pure, transparent, and authentic super-spice.

FAQs
Q: What is the typical curcuminoid content in your Organic Turmeric Powder?

A: Our Organic Turmeric Powder typically has a shelf life of 24 months from the manufacturing date when stored in a cool, dark, dry place (below 75°F / 24°C), away from direct sunlight and moisture, in its original sealed, airtight packaging.
