Dried Tumeric

Dried turmeric is the dehydrated form of the turmeric rhizome, which is harvested, cleaned, boiled, and then sun-dried or mechanically dehydrated. Once dried, it is typically ground into turmeric powder or used whole. Dried turmeric retains its potent yellow color and its primary bioactive compound, curcumin, which has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and medicinal properties. It is a key ingredient in the spice trade, widely used in food, cosmetics, and traditional medicines. Dried turmeric is also valued for its shelf stability, making it an important export commodity in global markets.
