What Makes Turmeric Interesting?
Turmeric belongs to the same botanical family as ginger and cardamom. Although often called turmeric root, the part used is actually a rhizome, a modified underground stem that stores nutrients and produces new shoots.

The rhizome contains naturally occurring curcuminoids, including curcumin, demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin. These polyphenolic compounds are responsible for much of turmeric's characteristic golden-yellow pigmentation.

Turmeric also contains aromatic compounds, including turmerones, which contribute to its distinctive earthy fragrance.
An important distinction is that curcumin is poorly soluble in water. A traditional turmeric decoction is therefore not equivalent to a concentrated curcumin supplement. It offers a different way to experience the plant, with its own characteristic flavour, colour and botanical composition.

Traditional Use
Turmeric has an extensive history in Ayurveda and traditional Asian herbal practices, where the rhizome has been used in preparations associated with digestion, skin care and joint health.
It also holds an important place in Indian cooking, traditional beverages and cultural ceremonies.

How to Prepare Your Turmeric Decoction
Add ½–1 teaspoon (0.5–3 g) of dried turmeric rhizome to cold water. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 15–20 minutes.
Strain before drinking.

Turmeric has a warm, earthy flavour with a slightly bitter finish. Enjoy it on its own or combine it with ginger for a more aromatic herbal preparation.

100% Organic Turmeric Rhizome (Curcuma longa L.).
No additives, preservatives or added flavourings.

Turmeric has been cultivated in South and Southeast Asia for thousands of years. In India, it became an important ingredient in food, traditional medicine and religious ceremonies.

In Ayurvedic traditions, turmeric is known as Haridra. Historical preparations included powders, pastes and herbal decoctions, with different methods chosen according to the intended traditional application.

Turmeric also featured in historical Chinese herbal practice, where different parts and preparations of the plant were distinguished.

Beyond herbal traditions, turmeric became valued as a natural yellow dye for textiles and as a culinary spice. Its distinctive colour and aroma helped establish its place in food cultures far beyond its original growing regions.

🌿 Why choose turmeric rhizome instead of turmeric powder or capsules?

This product contains dried turmeric rhizome specifically intended for preparing a traditional herbal decoction. It is an interesting choice if you prefer working with the plant itself rather than taking a concentrated extract or capsule.

🌿 What is the difference between turmeric and curcumin?

Turmeric is the whole botanical material obtained from Curcuma longa. Curcumin is one of several naturally occurring curcuminoids found in the rhizome. A turmeric decoction and a concentrated curcumin extract are different preparations and should not be considered interchangeable.

🌿 How much turmeric should I use each day?

Use ½–1 teaspoon (0.5–3 g) of dried rhizome daily, prepared as a decoction. Simmer gently for 15–20 minutes before straining.

🌿 Can I combine turmeric with other herbal infusions?

Yes. Ginger is a natural companion because both plants belong to the Zingiberaceae family and have complementary warm, aromatic flavours. Turmeric can also be combined with other culinary herbs and spices according to taste.

🌿 Where does this turmeric come from?

The organically grown turmeric originates from Madagascar and India. It is packaged and inspected in France and carries Ecocert organic certification.
