Turmeric

Natural Turmeric

Turmeric, also known as hurd in some Arab countries, is the most scientifically studied golden spice in the world. It is extracted from the roots of the Curcuma longa plant and is distinguished by its unique vibrant golden color and its warm, earthy flavor that gives dishes unparalleled color and depth. It has been used in Indian Ayurvedic medicine for over 4000 years and in traditional Chinese medicine, and was known in Arab medicine by Ibn Sina as a natural remedy for the liver, joints, and digestive system. Modern scientists have called it **"yellow gold"** because its active compound, curcumin, has been the subject of more than 12,000 scientific studies to date—a number no other natural compound in history has reached.

At Al Mawaddah store, we offer you pure natural turmeric of the highest purity and quality, retaining its full active curcumin and exceptional therapeutic properties.

🍽️ Culinary Use Instructions

• Golden Milk: Add one teaspoon to a cup of warm milk with a pinch of black pepper and a spoonful of honey, and a little cinnamon — a luxurious traditional Ayurvedic recipe.
• Daily Dose: Half a teaspoon to one teaspoon with black pepper daily.
• Cooking: Add it to rice, soups, stews, poultry, and eggs for a warm flavor and luxurious golden color.
• Smoothie: Add half a teaspoon to your morning smoothie with ginger and honey.
• Turmeric Tea: Boil one teaspoon in water with ginger, cinnamon, and black pepper for a powerful medicinal drink.
• With Healthy Oils: The body absorbs it better when consumed with olive oil or coconut oil.

⚡ Golden Tip: Never consume turmeric without a pinch of black pepper — piperine multiplies curcumin absorption by 2000%, and without it, the body absorbs less than 1% of curcumin.

📅 Shelf Life

⚡ Al Mawaddah Tip: Turmeric is sensitive to direct light, which gradually causes it to lose its distinctive golden color and active curcumin — store it in a dark glass jar or in a closed cupboard completely away from light and moisture.
