Turmeric is a plant that belongs to the Zingiberaceae family - it is a powder of the dried roots of Curcuma longa. Turmeric has a bright golden color and a very subtle aroma. It is often used to give a dish a beautiful amber hue. The spice is an integral part in preparing pilaf. There is no need to add a lot of it, because... may ruin the taste. Moderation in its use will be appropriate. In addition to its attractive color, turmeric will add a slight freshness.

Turmeric is one of the main ingredients of Indian curry seasoning, as well as various mixtures for pilaf. Turmeric should be stored away from direct sunlight, because... under their influence it begins to lose color.

It is interesting to know that in India it is used not only as a seasoning, but also as a dye for clothes.

Indicators of high-quality turmeric:

• When ground, it should be fragrant. If there is no smell at all or it is unpleasant, it is a sign of spoilage;
• The powder should not contain lumps or other impurities;
• The spice must be hermetically sealed.

Knowing this, you can’t go wrong in choosing a quality seasoning!
