A pot of golden rice, a tray of roasted cauliflower, a simmering curry base: ground turmeric turns these deep gold and gives them a warm, earthy backbone. Stir a small spoonful into lentils, scrambled eggs, roasted potatoes, and vegetable soups for color and a mild, peppery bitterness that grounds the whole dish. A little goes far, in flavor and in color.
We stone-grind our turmeric fresh in small batches in Portland so the aromatic oils and that vivid gold stay intact. Fresh-ground turmeric smells warm and slightly resinous, with an earthy depth that flat, long-shelved powder loses.
Turmeric is a cornerstone of Indian, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian cooking, the base color and warmth under countless curries, rice dishes, and pickles. It seasons everyday home cooking across these kitchens, less a headline flavor than the steady foundation others build on.
Single ingredient: turmeric. No salt, no sugar, no preservatives. Naturally gluten-free and vegan.
Common Questions
How do I keep turmeric from tasting bitter?
How do I keep turmeric from tasting bitter?
Use a light hand and give it a moment in oil or liquid rather than adding it raw at the end. Toasting turmeric too long or over high heat turns it acrid, so bloom it briefly in warm oil with your other spices, or stir it into a simmering dish. A small amount seasons a lot.
Ground turmeric or fresh root, are they the same?
Ground turmeric or fresh root, are they the same?
Close but not identical. Ground turmeric is the dried root milled to powder, more concentrated and convenient, with an earthier, slightly toastier flavor. Fresh root is brighter and more citrusy. In most recipes, roughly a teaspoon of ground stands in for a tablespoon of grated fresh.
How much ground turmeric should I use?
How much ground turmeric should I use?
Start with half a teaspoon in a pot of rice or a curry for four. Turmeric is bold in both color and flavor, and too much reads bitter and dusty, so build up gradually and taste as you go.
Does turmeric stain?
Does turmeric stain?
Yes. It stains cutting boards, cloth, and light countertops a strong yellow. Wipe up spills quickly, use a spoon rather than pouring, and clean surfaces soon after cooking. The color fades from most hard surfaces with prompt washing.
