Dried Turmeric – A Powerful Spice for Health and Flavor

What Is Dried Turmeric?

Dried Turmeric is made from the boiled, sun-dried rhizomes of the Curcuma longa plant. Known for its vibrant yellow-orange color and earthy aroma, turmeric has been used for centuries as a culinary spice, natural dye, and traditional remedy.

Once harvested, fresh turmeric is cleaned, boiled to preserve its color and compounds, then sliced or left whole before being naturally dried. The result is a concentrated, shelf-stable form of turmeric ideal for grinding into powder or steeping in teas and extracts.

Origin and Quality

Our turmeric is sourced from trusted farms in Vietnam, where turmeric grows under optimal tropical conditions. The rhizomes are hand-harvested and processed using traditional techniques to retain maximum curcumin content.

Vietnamese turmeric is valued globally for its high potency, bold color, and consistent quality. We ensure each batch meets export standards for food safety and purity.

Culinary Uses 

Dried turmeric is a staple in spice blends, curries, soups, and marinades. It adds depth, color, and a mild bitterness to dishes. It is widely used in Indian, Southeast Asian, and Middle Eastern cuisines.

It can be ground into powder for convenience or steeped whole in teas and broths. Dried turmeric also plays a role in plant-based beverages, health tonics, and golden milk.

Health Benefits

Turmeric is often called a “super spice” due to its natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. The key compound in turmeric, curcumin, has been widely studied for its wellness effects.

Possible health benefits include:

Reducing inflammation and joint pain
Improving digestion and liver health
Supporting the immune system
Enhancing skin health and wound healing
Combating oxidative stress

To maximize absorption, turmeric is often paired with black pepper or healthy fats.

Why Choose Dried Turmeric Over Powder?

While turmeric powder is convenient, this product offers higher shelf stability and authenticity. Buyers can inspect the root directly for quality, and grinding it fresh provides better flavor and potency.

Whole turmeric is less likely to be adulterated and allows for more flexible usage across different industries, from food to cosmetics and supplements.

How to Store It

Store dried turmeric in an airtight container, away from moisture and direct sunlight. When stored correctly, it can last up to two years without losing its potency.
