Short Description

Truly Turmeric Whole Root Turmeric Paste, Whole Root TurmericWILDCRAFTED WHOLE TURMERIC ROOT, COLD-PRESSED COCONUT OIL, FRESH LIME JUICE, SEA SALT, CITRIC ACID.Info: 235 g / 8 oz Jar, Available in 2 Types Get all the benefits of this ancient super-food, with its subtle notes of orange and ginger and deep yellow colour. Unlike standard powdered turmeric which loses many of the plant's essential oils in the process of getting boiled and dried, this zesty food paste from Truly Turmeric uses the entire fresh root to ensure the natural compounds remain potent and intact. Product Notes: Turmeric comes from the root of the Curcuma longa plant, a member of the ginger family, and it has been used as a spice (especially in curry) , a colourant, and an herbal medicine for thousands of years. Its active component, curcumin, not only provides the rich yellow colour which has been used as a dye in both fabrics and food, but also a number of health benefits, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune system enhancing properties. It is now used in numerous osteoarthritis/joint pain preparations, and may also be able to help eliminate toxins by increasing the production of certain enzymes in the liver. These pastes are a healthy and convenient means of incorporating turmeric into your diet. They only use the freshest ingredients: whole root turmeric (grown without the use of agricultural inputs in the Toledo district of Belize, Central America, and tested for the presence of heavy metals and other potential soil contaminants), cold pressed coconut oil, lime juice, sea salt, and citric acid to make accessing the powerful benefits of turmeric easy and delicious! For an added kick, try Truly Turmeric With Black Pepper, which adds black pepper to the mix. Truly Turmeric products are produced in small batches, so availability may vary.
