Dried Royal Turmeric

Dried turmeric root slices and powder are both processed forms of the fresh turmeric rhizome, but they differ in texture, potency, and culinary use. Turmeric is widely celebrated for its earthy flavor and powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which come from its active compound, curcumin.
