Whole Turmeric

Turmeric is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the Zingiberaceae or the ginger family. The tuberous rhizomes or underground stems have been used since ancient times as a condiment, atextile dye, and as medicine.

Turmeric is used most in the powder form. It is bright yellow in colour, has an earthy, acrid aroma and a pungent, slightly bitter flavor.

Whole turmeric contains an essential oil with a variety of sesquiterpenes. The colour and the taste come from conjugated diarylheptanoids.

It is an excellent source of dietary fiber, vitamin B6, iron, potassium and manganese. It is also a good source of vitamin C and magnesium. Turmeric powder is very low in cholesterol and sodium.

Indian turmeric is considered the best in the world and India produces nearly 90 percent of the world's turmeric.

The ground turmeric is cleaned and polished mechanically under close supervision, in a carefully controlled environment, under conditions certified by Grover. Utmost hygiene is maintained right from harvesting to packing.
