Just haldiIngredient list: turmeric

Description

This is the haldi that brings earthy warmth and a golden colour to your everyday dal. We grind it cool to help preserve its natural colour and aroma. Let a little bloom in oil or ghee, then build your curry around it. That familiar gold makes even a weekday bowl look ready for company.

About its origins

Erode and Salem in Tamil Nadu are well-known turmeric regions. India also grows distinct varieties elsewhere, including Lakadong in Meghalaya. The variety and processing influence the colour and flavour of haldi.

Go easy. A little colours a whole pot.

How to use

Stir a little into the moist masala while preparing dal, sabji or curry.
Mix into marinades with your other spices before coating paneer, vegetables or meat.
Cook gently and taste the finished dish before deciding whether to add more.

Quick tip: Add a little at a time. Too much turmeric can make the dish taste bitter.

Use it in

Everyday dal and khichdi
Poha and dry vegetable sabjis
Paneer, vegetable and chicken curries
Curd marinades and spice pastes

Questions about our lab results

What does lab tested mean?: The report names the product sample, the checks carried out and the result of each check. Different products need different tests, so the full report tells you exactly what was covered.
What does below quantification limit mean?: It means the amount was below the level the test could reliably measure as a number. It does not mean zero. The report gives the test’s limit.
What does volatile oil tell me?: Volatile oils contribute to a spice’s aroma. This test measures the oil content; it is one quality measure alongside the other checks in the report.
Why is moisture checked?: Moisture is the water present in the sample. Measuring it helps assess the product’s condition and suitability for storage. It is not a shelf-life guarantee.
Are curcumin and curcuminoids the same?: Curcuminoids are a group of compounds that includes curcumin and contributes to turmeric’s colour. A curcuminoid result should not be presented as a separate curcumin result.
