Very high curcumin content. Alleppey turmeric is one of the most renowned in the world for its intense flavor and color.

Rarely used alone, turmeric is the spice that gives curries from India and the West Indies their yellow color. It is an orange-colored rhizome that, once dried, becomes very hard. When grinding it, it is best to use a sturdy mortar as it risks breaking the blades of mills and other graters. Buying it whole ensures not only better preservation, but also the purity of the product. Indeed, ground turmeric is undoubtedly one of the most tampered with spices, too often mixed with various types of flour before being packaged. It is recognized for its antiseptic and antioxidant properties, as well as its anesthetic properties. This is also the reason why you should not add too much to a dish, otherwise you risk losing the taste of anything else.
