With a delicate flavor and unmistakable golden-yellow color, it is an excellent natural colorant capable of enlivening spice mixes, starchy dishes, and vegetables. The Alleppey variety chosen for this turmeric is the richest in curcumin, the precious active ingredient with strong antioxidant, aromatic, and coloring properties. Terra Madre turmeric powder comes from associations of small producers in India and Sri Lanka, in accordance with fair trade principles. A genuine spice, from Demeter-certified organic and biodynamic farming, to dye dishes and even fabrics a superb golden yellow.
 
 
 

The roots of this turmeric go back to the ancient East

Turmeric is a spice with a millennia-old history, revered in India for over four thousand years, where it is considered sacred and used not only in cooking but also in religious rituals, in Ayurvedic medicine, and as a fabric dye. Known as "Indian saffron" for its intense color, it traveled along ancient trade routes until reaching the West. It is the ingredient that gives curry its characteristic golden hue and has always been a symbol of prosperity and purity in Eastern culture. A cousin of ginger, it shares the same membership in the Zingiberaceae family. Les Jardins de Gaïa safeguards its authenticity with a biodynamic and fair trade supply chain, choosing the prized Alleppey variety.
 
 
 

Choosing Turmeric means taking care of yourself

Turmeric has been celebrated for centuries for its extraordinary virtues, now confirmed by modern research. Its active ingredient, curcumin—particularly abundant in the Alleppey variety—is one of the most studied natural antioxidants, traditionally associated with anti-inflammatory and health-promoting properties. To promote absorption, it's helpful to combine it with a pinch of black pepper and a healthy fat like olive oil. Its delicate flavor allows it to naturally flavor and color dishes, reducing the use of additives. Its biodynamic origin guarantees a pure spice, free of synthetic chemical residues and processed with full respect for the plant and the environment.
