Premium Red Turmeric Powder

This is the premium grade of Dr. Turmeric's Red Turmeric, harvested when the aromatic compounds and curcumin levels are at their peak. The result is a bright and lively turmeric with an exquisite balance of citrusy, fruity and floral aromas. The deep but delicate taste is less bitter than other grades of turmeric and is suitable for enjoying straight up, shaken into a water bottle, in cold drinks, lemonades or whisked in a bowl like matcha (which is our favorite way to enjoy it). This premium grade is cold-milled into a fine powder and vacuum packaged into a glass jar. The aroma and character are like no other common, spice market grade of turmeric powder you may have seen. It is a fine talc powder, and there is no need to sift or strain it.

Turmeric has a long history of medicinal and traditional uses in foods and beverages, with over 100 different varieties. The Red turmeric variety typically has a higher level of curcumin than the more common type of culinary "curry" yellow turmeric. Red turmeric has higher antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-aging effects. It is the turmeric associated with Okinawan longevity and healthy living, with a pleasant pungency and fruity-floral aromas that evoke fragrant citrus and flowers. This type of turmeric features a vivid reddish-gold saffron color.
