What you need to know about turmeric

Turmeric, sometimes called Indian saffron or the golden spice, is a tall plant that grows in Asia and Central America.

The turmeric on shelves and in spice cabinets is made of the ground roots of the plant. The bright yellow color of processed turmeric has inspired many cultures to use it as a dye. Ground turmeric is also a major ingredient in curry powder.

Capsules, teas, powders, and extracts are some of the turmeric products available commercially.

When purchasing a packaged ingredient…

It’s important to look for CERTIFIED LOGOS to guarantee that the products come from responsible sources;

Please Note: It’s best to have seasonings that are non-ETO. What is this? No Irradiation or ETO — Frontier does not sell any products or use any ingredients that have been sterilized by irradiation or ethylene oxide (ETO). They utilize safe and effective steam sterilization to preserve product quality. In my research, I found it’s important to find companies that sell spices and seasonings not to use ETO. Don’t be afraid to ask. It’s your health we are dealing with. FYI: Can organic spices be irradiated? Nope. How about treated with ethylene oxide? Nope. The only allowable method for USDA certified organic is steam sterilization. Learn more about this from superfoodly.

I feel good purchasing products and supporting companies that are; Fair-Trade Certified™
