Description
Organic Turmeric Powder from Sri Lanka - bright sunny yellow, finely ground, EU organic certified under DE-ÖKO-005. Our smallholder partner families from Jaffna in the north of Sri Lanka grow the organic turmeric on certified organic fields - mineral-rich soils and a consistent dry season give the root its intense colour and its characteristic aroma. Processing and final packaging take place entirely on site in Sri Lanka. We import exclusively sealed end products to Darmstadt - no intermediaries, no mixing with goods of other origin.
Flavour profile & taste
Earthy and warm with a slight bitter note and a subtly peppery, resinous aftertaste. Organic turmeric from Jaffna is noticeably more aromatic than industrially processed imports - the drying process under the tropical sun and the mechanical grinding without added heat preserve the essential oils. In the mouth the spiciness develops slowly and lingers for a long time.
Origin
Our organic turmeric comes from Jaffna, the northernmost district of Sri Lanka. Here the turmeric rhizomes grow on EU-certified organic fields of our partner families - traditionally and without synthetic pesticides, on pure turmeric fields. The farmers harvest the rhizomes by hand after the rainy season, wash them and dry them gently on wooden trays. Mechanical grinding and sealed final packaging also take place in Sri Lanka.
Use
Organic Turmeric Powder is versatile - both in traditional Sri Lankan cooking as a curry base and in modern wellness cooking:
- Golden milk: 1 tsp organic turmeric frothed in 250 ml milk (or plant-based drink), seasoned with a pinch of black pepper and honey
- Sri Lankan curry: 1-2 tsp turmeric form the yellow base for chicken, vegetable or lentil curry
- Rice & lentils: ½ tsp while cooking for golden-yellow rice
- Smoothies: with ginger and lemon as a flavour combination
- Marinades: with lemon juice and yoghurt for chicken, tofu or cauliflower
Tip from traditional cooking: In Sri Lankan curries, turmeric is typically fried briefly in hot oil - this releases the fat-soluble aromas better. A pinch of black pepper is part of the classic spice combination.

How our spice comes to be.
Cultivation, processing and packing happen in Sri Lanka. We bring the fully packed goods to Darmstadt and send them to you.
01
In the fields of Jaffna
In the north of Sri Lanka, our partner families harvest the turmeric rhizomes (Curcuma longa) by hand after the rainy season. The tubers grow on certified EU organic fields without synthetic pesticides - which gives them their earthy, warm aroma.
02
Processing in Sri Lanka
On site, the tubers are washed, cut into thin slices and gently dried. They are then ground without added heat so the essential oils are preserved, and sealed for final packing.
