Turmeric Powder is derived from the dried rhizome of Curcuma longa, a plant in the ginger and Zingiberaceae family. It has a bright orange color, a warm aroma, and a peppery flavor. It is used in cooking throughout Asia. It contains a compound called curcumin, which acts as a Natural Anti-Inflammatory Compound. In addition to providing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, it is also an excellent remedy for treating various types of illnesses.

In order to prepare turmeric powder, turmeric rhizomes should be dried out completely. The roots should be sun-dried until they are brittle. Then, they should be ground to a fine powder using a high-powered blender. You can use a glass jar blender for this, as it is easier to clean. Once ground, the turmeric powder can last up to six months in an airtight container.
