Ceylon Turmeric Powder – Pure Sri Lankan Golden Spice

What It Is

Ceylon Turmeric Powder is pure ground turmeric — the dried, milled rhizome (root) of Curcuma longa, grown in Sri Lanka. Its deep golden-orange colour comes from curcumin, turmeric's natural pigment. Ours is a single ingredient — no fillers, no colourings, no blends — with the warm aroma and vivid colour that make Ceylon turmeric prized in the kitchen.

Taste & Aroma

Warm, earthy and gently peppery, with a mild bitterness and a fragrant, slightly citrusy edge. A little goes a long way — it brings both flavour and a beautiful golden colour to whatever you cook.

How to Use It

• Curries & dhal: the classic base — bloom a teaspoon in oil with your other spices.
• Rice & grains: a pinch turns rice, couscous, or quinoa golden.
• Golden milk: whisk ½ teaspoon into warm milk with a little honey, black pepper, and cinnamon for a cosy spiced drink.
• Roasted veg & potatoes: toss with oil before roasting.
• Eggs, soups & marinades: stir into scrambled eggs, lentil soups, or a yoghurt marinade.
• Smoothies: a small pinch for colour and warmth.

It pairs classically with black pepper, cumin, coriander, ginger, and cinnamon.
