About Product
Turmeric, a member of the ginger family, is native to India and one of humankind's oldest spices.
It has been used for centuries for its vibrant yellow color, often used to brighten both food and clothing.
The root is dried, ground, and sold as a powder with a slightly bitter, earthy flavor. Organic Turmeric Root powder is a source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, iron, magnesium, and other phytochemicals, including curcumin. Turmeric is commonly used as a seasoning in Indian and Southeast Asian cuisine and is a popular ingredient in curries, soups, and stews.
It can also be added to smoothies, juices, and other beverages or sprinkled into salads and other dishes.

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 & 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 ¾ 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.
Mixing Suggestions: To increase flavor and nutritional profile, combined with our organic ginger and cinnamon powders.
