TURMERIC

Turmeric belongs to the ginger family and is an indispensable spice known for its vibrant, golden-yellow color. It is mainly used in curries and rice dishes to add not only color but also a unique, slightly bitter flavor. Turmeric is also excellent in pasta dough or Spätzle to give it a warm, golden color. This spice has been valued for centuries and brings both culinary variety and natural depth to the kitchen.

Spicy, earthy, slightly bitter, warm, nutty, pungent, intense, aromatic.

Use turmeric sparingly in curries, rice dishes, stews or as a special ingredient in pasta. A pinch in Spätzle or pasta dough creates a golden-yellow color and a fine spiciness. Turmeric also adds a characteristic note to smoothies, teas or bowls and makes every dish special in both look and taste.

Turmeric has been an integral part of Asian cuisine for thousands of years and is known as the “gold of spices”. Its high curcumin content not only gives it its strong color but also makes it very popular in modern cooking. Tip: Turmeric stains easily – it is best to wash wooden boards and plastic right after cooking.
