Review: So THIS is what turmeric tastes like! - Like most of us, the turmeric I had used all my life came from the grocery store...and I thought it was used to color food, because it had no scent or flavor, what else could it be for? Unlike most of us, I have inherited arthritis, and my joints started to disintegrate in my twenties. Since turmeric is known as one of nature's best anti-inflammatory agents...the Arthritis Foundation sez it stops free radicals in their tracks, reduces swelling, and halts cartilage destruction...I figured I'd give it a try. A 1/4 tsp per day is supposed to do the trick, so I planned to put it in my tea each morning. But a pound of turmeric?? Tho' most of us wouldn't use that much in lifetime, I did the math and this was the most cost effective purchase, and I could share with friends & family. Well, it turns out turmeric HAS a flavor, and a good one. This is the power of freshness...when I opened the plastic-coated foil bag to find a golden powder with a friendly, earthy scent I smelled turmeric for the first time ever. And when I put a bit on the tip of my tongue it tingled, and I realized I was experiencing the legendary numbing quality it is famous for. Fresh turmeric has a warm, earthy, umami quality, and I can see why chefs use it to add depth to their flavors; it would be a far superior flavor enhancer than MSG. I also understand why Indian cooks dry-fry their spices as a first step...the turmeric absolutely bloomed in hot tea, and a 1/4 teaspoon was too much per cup, more like per pot. It enhanced the natural grassiness of green tea, and the smoky mesquite honey I use, and even after adding cream the flavor and color were pleasant. Full disclosure: turmeric has an ever so slightly tannic quality that I only noticed when added to the natural astringency of tea. Some may find this unpleasant but it is really not pronounced. However, this is a review, so there it is. Turmeric is finely powdered root, a member of the ginger family, and when it is this fresh it still has slight moisture. And it stains; it has been used for centuries as a pelt and fabric dye. Be prepared, before it is delivered, with a quart jar to store it, one with an inner seal on the lid, like from a jar of spaghetti sauce (works perfect, four cups of powder almost exactly). The zip-lock foil bag it comes in will not work for home storage, and probably wasn't meant to. And turmeric & air are not buddies, that's why the stuff from the grocery store is so pale, and has no flavor or aroma. Treat this stuff properly, put a tablespoon or two in a spice container for regular use and store the rest away in that famous cool, dark place, and it will be your earthy friend for life. I would order any herb or spice from Starwest Botanicals. They clearly care about their product, and seem to be experts in the field. This was a superior experience, and if you figure the price per ounce compared to the groceries & natural food stores, a fairly priced one as well.
Review: Perfect turmeric at a great price! Has been life changing for my arthritic dog! Recipe is in my review! - I've been using turmeric for almost a year now, on both myself and my dogs. I started out trying out the actual turmeric capsules, but have found that making a paste with all the necessary components for maximum absorption and digestion is a much more effective way of taking the powder/root! I still use the capsules if I'm traveling, but prefer the powder/root when I'm home. This product is a great price for a full pound. I've purchased various turmeric powders in the past, and this one is definitely right at the top in terms of quality. Some of the others I've gotten have been more course and grainy. This one is very finely ground and dissolves easily when I'm making my paste. In order to most effectively digest turmeric, an oil or some type of fat is needed, as turmeric is fat soluble. Black pepper is also effective in aiding in the absoprtion of turmeric, so I make sure that I include black pepper and oil in any type of mix I'm preparing. Turmeric in large quantities (much more than you'd put in a recipe) doesn't taste very good. There are different ways in which you can incorporate it into shakes and milks, but I actually just take mine in past form. I mix about 1T of turmeric to 1/2T of olive oil and a few grinds of a black pepper mill. If it's too pastey, I'll add a little water. I take half of this mix in the morning and half at night for general detoxifying and inflammation fighting. For my dogs, I was adding the components to peanut butter, but I noticed they were gaining weight from too much peanut butter, so now I add it to ground chicken or turkey. Here is the recipe- 1LB lean ground chicken/turkey/beef ( I typically use 93/7 fat content meat. Anything leaner gets really dry.) 4T turmeric about 2tsp black pepper (or more depending on your preference) 2T coconut oil (great for skin and coat) 1/4 cup crushed tomatoes I brown the meat and then stir in all other ingredients. I typically don't drain the meat as the minimal fat helps with digestion. I then feed this to my two older dogs twice a day. Each gets a heaping spoonful with their morning meal and a heaping spoonful with dinner. The difference the turmeric has made with my arthritic foster dog has been unbelievable. She arrived to me basically hopping on 3 legs from an old hip injury. After getting x-rays, it was determined that surgery wouldn't help the injury as it appeared to be an old injury that had too much calcification in the joint. I then started her on the turmeric regimen and incorporated some glucosamine and condroitin tabs. She has made a 90% turn around. She loves going on walks, I never see her hopping on 3 legs anymore (with the exception of one time when my turmeric shipment was late) and she is finally able to enjoy her life in much less pain! The anti-inflammatory properties have also helped my mom exponentially with her shoulder injury. Overall, I recommend turmeric for just about everyone! It's a miracle root and great for both preventative and current pain management.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the % of curcumin?**
A: If it isn't listed, it is probably 2% or lower and used mainly for cooking (flavor). The answer: "The average curcumin content of turmeric is approximately 3% (by weight)." is a total joke. That's like stating that the average vehicle weighs x number of tons, which includes tiny ones to giant 18 wheelers. I have found several companies, even here on Amazon that sell 3 - 4% curcumin Turmeric powder. Just search around. Anything lower than 2.5% is not what you're looking for if you want it for medicinal use. And any product that does not list it is typically 2% or less. I have researched this quite a lot.

**Q: is it assembled in china?**
A: Hi!Origin:India.   Kosher Certified by Kosher Certification Services.  Certified by QAI, Inc.  The address on the bottom is Starwest Botanicals, Inc., 11253 Trade Center Drive, Rancho Cordova, CA   95742  USA     www.starwest-botanicals.comI don't see China on it anywhere, but maybe more info could be found on their website.  I understand why she's asking; I feel the same way.Hope this helps!Susan

**Q: Why does Starwest Turmeric have a "California Prop 65" Warning and "Not to be used during pregnancy" Warning on this Amazon page?**
A: None of these answers are correct. Regardless of whether this product is organic, lead chromate is used as an additive coloring agent in almost ALL tumeric sourced from India and Bangladesh. DO NOT buy turmeric from a seller with the PROP 65 warning or from which doesn't provide evidence of testing.

**Q: How is it packaged for shipment?  e.g. bottle, plastic bag, foil bag, other**
A: The herbs I got, which were Organic Turmeric root, were packaged in foil bags. I can't remember if Amazon then put them in a plastic bag or a box. I think they were in a bag. Sorry I don't have more information.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Item Arrived Undamaged From Amazon and Fresh Inside
*by R***C on December 4, 2019*

I found myself running out of the 2 ounce glass bottles of turmeric that I would normally purchase, so I decided to order this big 1 pound bag which will last me quite a while and at the same time being much cheaper than buying multiple 2 ounce glass bottles. I will use this bag to refill my glass bottle as needed. I'm using the tumeric in marinades, sauces and soups for health and medicinal purposes (although I not suffering from any ailments) and not so much about flavoring. The turmeric I received is sourced from India. There was no eXpiration date on the bag which was concerning because I have no idea how long this bag has been laying around. I called Starwest Botanicals and they told me they don't put expiration dates on their products because the spices don't expire WHICH IS RIDICULOUS and UNTRUE! Everything in life has a finite life span including spices which can get STALE after a while even in air tight bags. In any case, the lady on the phone asked me for the batch number of my bag and their database system said my bag was good until May of 2022. The irony is that if the product doesn't expire as they declare, then why do you maintain a database which lists the freshness eXpiration date (besides the obvious tracking of inventory control)??? Just put the info on the bag and to avoid unnecessary customer call volumes asking for the information. Anyway, the product was fine and fresh inside. This is my second or third time ordering from Starwest Botanicals and i would do so again.
