Turmeric Root Powder 4 oz (Cúrcuma, Ground Turmeric) for Golden Milk and Tea

Turmeric root powder is the ground rhizome of Curcuma longa, a leafy plant in the ginger family grown across India and Southeast Asia. Ours is milled from organic or wildcrafted roots sourced from India, which gives it a deep golden color and the warm, earthy, faintly bitter aroma turmeric is known for. You may also see it called cúrcuma in Spanish. Each bag contains 4 oz of ground turmeric.

Turmeric has colored and flavored kitchens for thousands of years. It is the golden base of curries and stews, the warmth folded into a cup of chai, and the signature ingredient in golden milk, the spiced turmeric latte that traveled from Indian households to cafes around the world. A small spoonful stirred into rice, roasted vegetables, soups, or a morning smoothie carries both its vivid color and its distinctive taste.

We keep it simple, just milled turmeric root with nothing added, no fillers and no flow agents. Turmeric is a natural dye, so it will happily stain cloth and light surfaces, a sign of how rich the pigment is. Store the bag sealed and away from light and heat to keep the color bright and the aroma fresh.

Store tightly closed in a dry place at room temperature, 59 to 86°F (15 to 30°C), as printed on the bag.

Frequently asked questions

How do you make golden milk?
Warm 1 cup of plant milk, whisk in about half a teaspoon of turmeric, a pinch of black pepper and a little cinnamon, and warm it 3 to 4 minutes without boiling. Sweeten to taste. Full recipe in our golden milk guide.

How do you make turmeric tea?
Stir 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder into 8 fl oz of hot water. Cover and steep 3 to 5 minutes, then stir again before drinking, since the powder settles.

Can you cook with it, or is it just for drinks?
Both, and cooking is what the label leads with. It is the golden base of curries and stews, it goes into rice, roasted vegetables and soups, and a pinch lifts a dal or a lentil pot. A little goes a long way, and it stains, so add it to the pan rather than to a wooden spoon you are fond of.

Does turmeric tea have caffeine?
No. Turmeric is naturally caffeine free.

What does turmeric tea taste like?
Warm, earthy and lightly peppery, with a deep golden color. A little goes a long way.
