Turmeric - Meet the Golden Spice of India
Turmeric, popularly known as the ‘Golden Spice of India’, adds an outstanding taste, feel, aroma, and texture to any curry. It is orange-yellow and varies in size. It is an aromatic stimulant that adds colour and flavour to any cuisine; name your choice. Giving you this feeling, we at Ahirkar work with passion and determination to manufacture and deliver the highest quality standards of turmeric.
Benefits of Turmeric
· Has potent fat-burning properties.
· Works to fight age-related chronic disorders.
· Helps manage body fluids while lowering high blood pressure and cholesterol.
· Increases the absorption of energy in the body.
· Has potent antioxidant and antibacterial properties that help the body fight infections.
Nature & Nutrition
Considering the nutritional value of turmeric, it has healthy amounts of minerals like manganese and iron along with an abundance of Vitamin B-6, dietary fibre, carbs, and protein. The bright yellow turmeric is made of ground roots or rhizomes and is available in a unique bulbous shape. Ground it and add a pinch to any curry of your choice; you are sure to experience a warm, bitter flavour and mustard-like aroma.
