Our Peruvian Turmeric is something truly special. Unlike standard turmeric, it has a deeper golden hue — more gold than yellow — and boasts a higher curcumin content with a stronger, richer flavour. Naturally containing around 8% curcumin, this makes it a superior choice for both culinary use and daily wellbeing rituals.
Turmeric is the golden root long celebrated in traditional Indian cuisine and Ayurvedic practice. It’s well known for its vibrant colour, giving dishes a beautiful natural glow — though a little word of caution: its natural pigments are so strong they can stain anything they touch!

How To Use
Add ½ to 1 teaspoon daily to curries, soups, and stews for warmth and depth of flavour.
Blend into golden milk, turmeric lattes, smoothies, or health tonics.
Use in salad dressings or to brighten up lemon-based desserts with its vibrant natural colour.
Turmeric is a popular natural food colouring — its beautiful golden hue adds brightness to any dish. Just take care, as it can stain surfaces and fabrics!
For best absorption, combine with healthy fats (like coconut milk or olive oil) and a pinch of black pepper, which enhances the bioavailability of curcumin.
Sprinkle into marinades or add to grain dishes for a natural burst of colour and warmth.
You'll also find turmeric featured in our Super Gomasio and Ceremonial Bar products — two of our house favourites!
