In Indian culture, we don't joke with turmeric! Recognizable by its yellow color, this rhizome has incredible healing power thanks to its antifungal and antibacterial properties. India has established itself throughout the ages as the largest producer and consumer of turmeric in the world. There, it is used for culinary, medicinal and also cosmetic purposes. It is used as a mask or scrub for radiant skin at a lower cost.
Considered the "saffron of India", it represents a cheap alternative to saffron but just as useful as it is appetizing. It requires real precision work. When not fresh, turmeric is boiled and then dried. It is then crushed into powder, to be used as a spice. It is grown mainly in the forests of South and South Asia, and is a key ingredient in many Indian, Persian and Thai dishes. In medieval Europe it was recognized as Indian saffron, often used as a cheap alternative to saffron, which is much more expensive.
Whether for its taste or its virtues, we love this spice from elsewhere. It is ideal to enhance all your dishes, like this Bendi Basmati rice mixture with turmeric and ginger . A tasty and colorful mixture for a beneficial dish combining well-being and pleasure. Add water, and it's ready to enjoy! The spices are carefully selected from the best producers in India where every day women ensure that our turmeric is perfectly dried, in the sun, so that it retains all its fragrance and unique taste.
