I have been enjoying turmeric my entire life and have been incorporating it into my cooking for over 17 years. Among all the varieties I've tried, this brand stands out as the most authentic and flavorful.
Having grown up in both India and the US, I've experienced countless types of turmeric, but this one truly captures the essence of fresh turmeric. Its vibrant color infuses every dish with a rich, golden hue, and its potency means I only need to use a small amount. I also create turmeric shots from this and fresh yellow and white types of turmeric, combined with freshly ground black pepper, for enhanced absorption.
I highly recommend this exceptional brand of turmeric—it's simply the best for cooking or for supplements!
