What makes Yahlu Turmeric special?

The brilliant gold of this turmeric is a measure of its vitality. Sri Lankan soil gifts our turmeric a higher concentration of curcumin, the bioactive compound behind turmeric’s vibrant hue and celebrated health benefits. It’s curcumin that lends turmeric its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant strength and our traditional methods exist to honour that gift, creating a spice with a potency and earthy brightness that is visibly, tangibly superior.

"Why does it feel like Turmeric is everywhere all of a sudden, from lattes to tonics to baked goods? Well, in addition to being used as a flavouring and colouring, it's also prized in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for its anti-inflammatory properties"
- Bon Apetit

"It didn't take me long to learn that good turmeric is out there. Great turmeric. Turmeric that, after a whiff, grabs your collar and won't let go. The aroma is intense: earthy, pungent, redolent of dried citrus peel and dusty streets soaked in sunlight. The flavour, though subtler, warms the tongue, the missing link between black pepper and chile. After tasting the real deal, one automatically understands why the food of over a billion people is stained with it."
