Chopped Turmeric Root 8oz

What is Selefina Chopped Turmeric Root 8oz?

Selefina Chopped Turmeric Root 8oz is a high-quality, whole-ingredient spice sourced for culinary and wellness use. Unlike powdered forms, this chopped root retains more of its natural essential oils, delivering a robust, earthy-sweet flavor with a warm, slightly peppery finish. It has a distinctive mustard-like aroma and imparts a rich golden hue to any dish. Sold by Adagio Teas, this turmeric is intended for infusion rather than consumption in large solid pieces—simmered in liquids and removed before serving using a slotted spoon.
