Turmeric: What's The Buzz?

by Organic Spices, Inc.

Turmeric is one of our top sellers, along with garlic and onion, for good reason. Savvy consumers appreciate pure natural food ingredients and are in touch with the potential healing properties of spices and their active components.

Curcumin is a well known antioxidant derived from the rhizomes of the Indian spice turmeric, and is what gives this spice its vivid orange colored hue. It’s known to have potent anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic properties, as well as other amazing potential health values. Both turmeric and curcumin extract have been widely studied for their capacity to kill various cancer cell lines.

Basic culinary spices are great for naturally stimulating body detoxification. This humble spice is a valuable addition to a regular healthful diet, and can be included in a variety of recipes or in combination with other spices for pennies a day. Turmeric can be used to prepare egg salads, curries, rice, onions, mayonnaise, salad dressings, lentils, soups, fish, chicken, turkey, and vegetarian dishes.

Our turmeric powder, oleoresin, and curry blends can be used with the knowledge that they’re completely gluten free, vegan, kosher, and 100% certified organic, which means they have not been irradiated so you get all the benefits nature intended.
