Dry Turmeric Powder

Native of Natural presents its Premium Turmeric Powder (Curcuma longa), derived from the dried rhizomes of the turmeric plant. Commonly known as Haldi in India, Turmeric is one of the world’s most widely recognized and utilized spices. It is globally celebrated for its vibrant golden-yellow color, warm earthy flavor, and its powerful medicinal properties, primarily attributed to the active compound Curcumin. Turmeric is a highly valued functional ingredient used in cuisine, nutraceuticals, and traditional Ayurvedic medicine for its significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

Our powder is sourced from high-quality rhizomes, carefully harvested, cleaned, dried (often boiled first), and finely milled. The final product is 100% pure, natural, and free from synthetic colors, fillers, or artificial additives, ensuring maximum purity and potency.
