Turmeric Root Powder
Product Description
Organic Turmeric Root Powder is made from the dried and ground root of turmeric, a member of the ginger family native to India. With its bold golden color and slightly bitter, earthy flavor, it has been a culinary staple for centuries. Turmeric is widely used in curries, soups, and stews, and also adds depth to sauces, rice dishes, and marinades.
Shelf-stable and versatile, turmeric powder can be blended into smoothies, juices, or teas, or sprinkled into salads and roasted vegetables. Its vibrant color and warm taste make it an essential spice in both traditional and modern kitchens.

Other Preparations
Decoction: Use the ratio of 1 tablespoon of the herb for every 10 ounces of water. Put all ingredients into a pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover and lower to a simmer for 20-30 minutes. Turn the heat off and allow the mixture to sit for another 10 minutes. Strain and serve (this method is specific for barks and roots).
Tincture: This method can take 15 to 30 days. You will need three items (a mason jar with a cover, the herb/herbs of your choice, and liquid for extracting). The extracting liquid can be alcohol, alcohol/water combo, vinegar, or vegetable glycerin. Take the product and fill the jar 3/4 full, add the liquid of your choice, and close the jar. Then shake the jar so everything is well mixed. Give the jar a good 5-minute shake several times a day. After 15 to 30 days, strain and bottle in glass tincture jars.
