Red Turmeric

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!
