Premium ground turmeric in a large 33.7-ounce (2.1 lb) bulk container, perfect for households that regularly use this essential spice. Turmeric comes from the root of the Curcuma longa plant, a member of the ginger family, and contains curcumin, the compound responsible for its vibrant golden-yellow color and distinctive earthy, slightly bitter flavor.

Ground turmeric is a foundational spice in Indian, Thai, Persian, and other Asian cuisines. It adds depth of flavor and rich color to curries, rice dishes, soups, stews, marinades, and sauces. A half teaspoon is typically sufficient for most recipes. For maximum absorption of curcumin, pair turmeric with black pepper and healthy fats during cooking. Add turmeric early in the cooking process to allow its flavors to fully integrate with other ingredients.

This single-ingredient spice contains only 100% ground turmeric with no additives or preservatives. Store in a cool, dark, dry place for optimal freshness. The bright yellow color may stain hands and surfaces, so handle accordingly. Distributed by Costco Wholesale Corporation.
