Harvesting

Organic turmeric is typically grown in tropical regions with a warm and humid climate, such as India, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia. The turmeric plant, Curcuma longa, is a member of the ginger family and is cultivated for its rhizomes, which are the main source of the bright yellow-orange spice. The rhizomes are harvested once the plant reaches maturity, which usually occurs after 7-10 months of growth. This usually takes place towards the end of the rainy season, typically from February to April, ensuring the rhizomes are at their peak potency. After harvesting, the rhizomes are cleaned, boiled, dried, and then ground into a fine powder, resulting in the vibrant golden-yellow hue that turmeric is known for.

This process helps to preserve the natural composition of the product, including its active compound, curcumin, which is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Organic ground turmeric is rich in essential nutrients, including iron, manganese, and vitamin B6. It also contains dietary fibre and a range of other beneficial compounds.

The organic nature of Organic Ground Turmeric means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Ground Turmeric in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.
