Turmeric

Organic Turmeric has a warm, earthy flavour that adds colour and depth to both sweet and savoury recipes.

Simply stir 1 - 2 teaspoons (10g) into smoothies, soups, curries or sauces, whisk into a golden latte, or mix into yoghurt dressings and baking for an easy everyday boost.

Turmeric has been valued in Ayurvedic traditions for centuries and naturally contains curcumin alongside iron and manganese. Iron contributes to normal immune function and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, while manganese contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and the normal formation of connective tissue.

Our Organic Turmeric is made from fresh roots that are gently dried and finely milled to preserve their naturally vibrant golden colour and warm, earthy flavour, giving you a simple way to enjoy this celebrated spice every day.

Most turmeric on the market is produced as a bulk culinary ingredient; optimised for colour and flavour rather than nutritional potency. While India accounts for around 80% of global production, the majority is standard-grade turmeric with relatively low levels of curcumin, its key bioactive compound.

At Aduna, we take a different approach. We source exclusively from small-scale farmers in Tanzania, where soil and climate conditions are particularly well suited to producing high-curcumin turmeric. This results in a significantly more potent raw material than typical supermarket-grade powders, which often contain only 2-3% curcumin. High-quality turmeric with levels above 5% represents a much smaller and more carefully produced segment of the market.

To ensure consistency, every batch undergoes specialist laboratory analysis to verify curcumin levels, alongside standard safety testing.

Our turmeric is made from the root (rhizome) of Curcuma longa. After harvest, the rhizomes are washed, then gently steamed; a critical step that stabilises colour and supports uniform drying. They are then sliced, carefully dehydrated and milled into a fine powder.

Importantly, this is a whole-food ingredient. Rather than isolating or extracting curcumin, the powder retains the full spectrum of naturally occurring compounds, including turmerones and other curcuminoids, which contribute to turmeric’s overall functionality.

The result is a high-potency, fully traceable turmeric that is produced with nutritional performance, not just culinary use, in mind.
