Deep yellow in colour with a sweet taste and a delicate bitter aftertaste, Madras turmeric is a warm, enveloping spice able to harmonise flavours. Native to India and made from Curcuma longa, it is a key ingredient in many spice blends.
In the kitchen it is ideal for flavouring rice, vegetables, meat, fish and baked goods, always pairing well with a pinch of black pepper, which completes its aromatic profile. Used in leavened doughs and preparations such as bread, fresh pasta and mayonnaise, it also gives a natural, intense golden colour. It is also the star of the famous Golden Milk.
