Turmeric powder is a type of spice obtained by processing the turmeric (Indian saffron), a plant belonging to the ginger family. Turmeric roots, which are very similar to ginger in appearance, are thoroughly cleaned and boiled beforehand. It is then dried in pieces and turned into powder. Turmeric powder, which has an intense yellow appearance with the curcumin pigment it contains, also leaves a taste similar to ginger on the palate. But it makes a difference with its light and pleasant bitterness felt at the first taste.
