Fresh from our garden. Freeze-dried ground turmeric is a spice made from the dried and powdered rhizomes of the turmeric plant. It is commonly used in cooking for its bright yellow color and warm, slightly bitter flavor. Freeze-drying is a process of removing moisture from the turmeric at a low temperature, which preserves its nutritional content and flavor. Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and has been used for medicinal purposes in various cultures for centuries.
