Butty Turmeric ground 26g

Turmeric has been known in Europe since the Middle Ages. It was formerly also called Indian saffron and is a tropical herb, a relative of ginger, which was planted by Asians as a bringer of good luck. Turmeric is recognized by its thick rhizomes, short branches, and large, shiny, pointed leaves that are almost half a meter long, as well as its stem, which is adorned with a tuft of beautiful yellow flowers. It contains a yellow pigment, curcumin. During harvest, the rhizome is uprooted, then cooked and cleaned, and must subsequently dry for a long time. Finally, it is polished. The pieces are generally ground into powder, which is intended either for consumption or for industrial use (dyeing). Turmeric is mainly produced in India, China, Indonesia, and Peru. It is primarily used in blends, especially in Antillean Colombo and curry, to season poultry, pork, etc. Here, turmeric is used to color and flavor sauces, syrups, liqueurs, cheese, butter, and margarine, as well as rice in an oriental style. It makes Swiss dishes irresistible.
