I have always used whatever was cheap or Trader Joe’s. I bought the simply organic one because I needed to get enough in my cart for delivery and I was SHOOCKED. It is filled with flavor and a beautiful scent and I had no idea my turmeric was suppose to be that way!

I didn’t like it years ago but now I love it even though I still don’t like curry. I love to use turmeric in Spanish Chicken & Rice, in a spice rub for poultry, and for color and flavor in rice or veggies! Yum!!

We Persians literally start half of our dishes with onions and turmeric. If you want something different just fry up onion and turmeric and add chicken . Serve it over rice!

I so like that you compare turmeric and milk. Thanks so much

Spice Island is good, and was always easy to find, but I always use the bottle too fast. Forget the $4 bottle. Go to an Indian store for a $1 bag!

you can make a pickle with the turmeric rhizome. warm some sesame oil, add red chilli powder to it and switch off the heat. add the sliced turmeric rhizome, salt and lemon juice to the oil+chilli powder mixture and the pickle is ready

This was very helpful for me since it is also used in some Peruvian dishes. We use it mainly to add color so ours are usually not the spicy tumerics. Very interesting, thank you 🙋🇵🇪

Tumeric definitely reduces inflammation. It has helped my old aging & damaged knee more than I ever expected. A concoction with apple cider vinegar and black pepper every evening keeps it low or no pain and gives great mobility.

Fun Fact: Simply Organic & Frontier Co-Op are own by the Same Compy.

I like to layer both. Dry while cooking and grated fresh for finishing. I buy fresh turmeric root (as well as ginger) in bulk and store it in a container in my freezer. Whenever I need some, I pull out a root and grate it frozen onto food. Fresh turmeric has a beautiful grassy flavor. Good for making homemade salad dressings as well.

If you’re using turmeric for its health benefits make sure it’s not contaminated with lead (turmeric grown In Bangladesh scores really high). Turmeric needs to be combined with pepper and fat to be a absorbed. Fresh turmeric, and capsules are better than powder. Too much turmeric can deplete iron

If you are a tumeric fanatic, it is best to buy in one to two pound bags for around $6-9 per pound compared to $4 for 2.2 to 3 oz. Anyone have a favorite brand for the bulk stuff?

I wish they would actually cover more brands. So annoying when the one you usually get isn't even mentioned.

I get bigger quantities from a middle eastern/Indian store. Jiva organics brand is the best I’ve found and it’s super strong.

I liked it before it was a super good. To me it’s a subtle musky taste which is so different from other spices.

What about the version sold in Costco? Is it a good purchase?

QUESTION: At a high-priced health food grocery store, I recently saw a product (I think it was tea or a latte mix, but honestly I can't remember) that boasted "activated turmeric" and included black pepper as the activating ingredient. What exactly does "activated" mean in this context? Is it for real, or just another bogus health claim that comes with an expensive price tag?

@Bubbaluv8

2 жыл бұрын

The curcumin in turmeric, which has a large proportion of the health benefits of turmeric, is not metabolized well in our bodies. Black pepper, even a small amount, "activates" the metabolization of curcumin by around %2,000. But, I'd just add my own at home, black pepper is cheaper than turmeric. So, it's true it activates, but I think it's also true it's a bit of a rip off, displacing some of the turmeric with black pepper.

@jesusjones3014

Жыл бұрын

Black pepper (bioperine/piperine are extracted from black pepper) increases the bioavailability by up to 2000%. So without black pepper or its extracts its semi useless to get any real benefits from the tumeric/curcumin. Tumeric powder only has 2 to 6% curcumin so while it's tasty for curry it's not a great way to get the benefits of the curcumin in tumeric. If you like it go for it, add away but you must have black pepper. The best is a supplement with 95% curcuminoids. so 1000mg of tumeric powder with 95% standardized curcuminoids will give you 950mgs. Don't be fooled by proprietary blends or something that may day 2000 mgs tumeric powder but then only shows 200mgs of 95% standardized curcuminoids bc the math doesnt add up meaning they put in 2000mgs tumeric powder for fluff and just added in 200 mgs curcuminoids by itself. I love Costco kirkland tumeric supplement giving you 950mg standardized curcuminoids per serving, they go on sale every so often and a bottle is about 20 bucks and lasts about 4 months. I still have tumeric in foods but supplements is where to get it for health benefits!

How did each rate for curcumin? People using a lot more turmeric are doing so for health benefits.

I bought Penzey’s turmeric, and it dominated over all my other spices. Maybe I got used to using a more mild one and am adding more. But I’ve not made a successful curry since I started using it.

Try to find it fresh and just use a micro grater. The powdered stuff is consistent but bland compared to fresh, sort of the way fresh ginger is so different from the powdered.

I’m disappointed that you didn’t test the main brands from the Indian Grocery Stores. Namely Deep and Laxmi; that’s what most people in the USA use! Please add this info to your review!

No mercury test? Unsafe levels of mercury has been something of a scandal among turmeric suppliers.

But be careful which ones you buy. The FDA issued an import alert stating ports could detain shipments from certain importers. They targeted turmeric from India and Bangladesh. “Based on what the data are showing us so far, buying spices in the U.S. instead of online or when traveling overseas seems to be a good way to protect yourself, because the spices that have been legally imported into the U.S. at least have the chance of going through heavy metal screening upon import,” said Kim Gaetz, a public health epidemiologist based in North Carolina. “Almost all spices are imported, but the lead levels seem to be highest in those that were actually purchased outside of the U.S.,” Gaetz added.
