Fresh Turmeric

タイトルまたは説明

Turmeric is widely cultivated for its rhizomes which are used as a bright
yellow-orange culinary spice. It has been known as poor man's saffron because it offers a less expensive alternative yellow colouring.

In turmeric, curcumin is the primary pigment and is generally used in various food industries as a food color. It is mainly used in dairy products, beverages, cereal, confectionary, ice cream, bakery, and savory products.

Turmeric is mostly used in flavored milk drinks, cultured milk and desserts to obtain lemon and banana colors in dairy.

Turmeric is added at higher levels to sausages, pickles, relishes, sauces, dry mixes, and fish due to its original usage as a spice.
