Turmeric comes from the roots of Curcuma longa, a leafy plant in the ginger family. The root, or rhizome, has a tuff brown skin and bright orange flesh. Ground turmeric comes from the fingers which extend from the root. It is boiled or steamed and then dried, and ground. The odour and taste are aromatic. Turmeric ground shall be free from foreign odour and taste, such as mustiness or rancidity. We can also offer steam sterilize turmeric powder.
