Slice dried turmeric

Dried turmeric is the dehydrated form of the turmeric rhizome, most commonly from the species Curcuma longa. It is widely used as a spice, natural dye, and medicinal ingredient, valued for its vibrant color and potent bioactive compounds—especially curcumin.

Whole dried turmeric: Hard, shriveled, finger-like rhizome pieces with a rough, brownish outer surface and bright orange to yellow interior.
Powdered turmeric: Finely ground, with a rich yellow-orange color.

Aroma & Flavor:

Flavor: Bitter, earthy, mildly spicy, with a dry heat. Stronger and more concentrated than fresh turmeric.

Key Compound:
