A spoonful, and the whole pot turns gold. This Turmeric Ground from Place des Épices is an organic turmeric from India, of the Suroma variety, known for its particularly high curcumin content, around 10%. With its brilliant golden color and warm, earthy flavor, it is a cornerstone of curries and curry powders. Whisk it into warm milk with honey for a golden latte, or stir a pinch into scrambled eggs.
