What is Turmeric Powder?

Turmeric is a plant related to ginger, and is ground up into an orange, powdery spice. It is used in a variety of savory dishes, especially curries and other Indian dishes. It is also sometimes used to add its bright color to a dish.

Different Ways to Use/Consume

Turmeric powder is easy to add to spice up any dish. Roast some vegetables with it, add it to rice, or put it in a soup. Recipes and uses are nearly endless. However, most recipes do not allow you to consume the powder in a sufficient amount to enjoy most of its benefits. Therefore, if you’re feeling adventurous, you can also add it in a smoothie. Blend it with some mango or banana to balance out its spice.

Average Cost and Best Deals

Tumeric powder is on the cheaper side for a health supplement. The typical bottle you can buy in a grocery store (2 to 3 ounces) costs about $3 or $4, but you can buy it in bulk as well to save money. A pound of turmeric powder costs $6 to $20, depending on the quality.
