Organic Turmeric Powder 100g

Organic turmeric powder — the golden spice of Indian and Southeast Asian cooking for over 4,000 years, and the most extensively researched medicinal plant in modern nutrition science. These certified organic turmeric powder from Just Natural Organic are ground from whole dried Curcuma longa rhizomes with a high curcumin content — the primary bioactive compound responsible for turmeric's extraordinary anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity.

Contains curcumin (potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, extensively studied for joint health, cardiovascular support, and neuroprotection), manganese, iron, and Vitamin B6. Note: curcumin has poor bioavailability alone — absorption increases dramatically when taken with black pepper (piperine) or fat.

Certified organic by the Soil Association. Plastic-free. Available in 100g.

Use in curries, golden milk lattes, soups, and rice dishes. Add to scrambled eggs. Mix into salad dressings. Always combine with black pepper to maximise curcumin absorption.

Recipe idea — Golden Milk: Warm 300ml oat milk with 1 tsp turmeric, ¼ tsp black pepper, ½ tsp cinnamon, ½ tsp ginger, and 1 tsp honey. Whisk until frothy. Drink before bed. The black pepper increases curcumin absorption by up to 2,000% via piperine — essential when using turmeric therapeutically.

Ingredients: Organic Turmeric Powder.

FAQs

Why combine turmeric with black pepper?
Piperine (the active compound in black pepper) inhibits the rapid metabolism of curcumin in the liver and intestinal wall, dramatically increasing its absorption and bioavailability — studies show up to 2,000% improvement. Even a small pinch of black pepper is sufficient.

Is turmeric gluten-free?
Yes — pure turmeric powder is naturally gluten-free.
