Our Red Turmeric comes from a cooperative of farmers in northern Vietnam, where it has a long history as both a medicinal and culinary ingredient. Very high in curcumin (more than 5%), it also has a sweet, rich flavor that's great in teas and smoothies, as well as stews and marinades.

SOURCING
We've partnered with DACE, a social enterprise in Vietnam, to connect with the farmers growing our Red Turmeric.
The turmeric is grown by communities of Hmong farmers in Vietnam's northern highlands, who are learning to grow higher-value crops and transitioning to organic and regenerative agricultural methods. We're honored to support them in that work, and to share their earthy, sweet turmeric with you!

United StatesIm embarrassed to say I haven’t used it yet! I cook often but not as much in the summer months. Now it’s time. Please share ideas on how to use this particular kind of turmeric, I use “orange” turmeric on most foods mostly for it’s anti inflamatory properties, and flavor of course. Thanks!
United StatesAroma of this turmeric is full, real and makes me think of smelling the fresh rhizome, if I close my eyes - what a find! I use it in cooking and, remarkably, in short pastry.
United StatesI frequently give jars of Burlap and Barrel spices as gifts to friends who haven’t tried your spices-or even to those who have -like my daughter who especially loves your red turmeric. Just a little “I love you” note with a jar of B&B spice. I refuse to buy any other brand spice. If B&B doesn’t have it I don’t use it.
United StatesPut a dash on most dishes, enjoy the flavor immensely
