Turmeric root is ground into a powder to both enhance the flavor and bring out a yellowish-gold color. Its golden touch of color brings a bitter flavor to deliver that mustard-like appeal to your table. Frontier Co-op Organic Turmeric is sourced from India, Guatemala and Nicaragua using organic and non-irradiated methods. The ground turmeric is also kosher. There are no artificial additives or chemicals used at any stage of growing and manufacturing.
