Turmeric Powder

What is HIPA Masala Turmeric Powder?

Turmeric (Haldi / Manjal) is the sacred golden foundation of Indian cooking, revered for millennia for its vibrant pigmentation, warm earthy fragrance, and natural health-supporting properties.

HIPA Masala Turmeric Powder is produced from high-quality dried turmeric fingers (Curcuma longa). The rhizomes are thoroughly cleaned, gently polished, and low-temperature ground to preserve their natural essential oils and active curcumin content.

Our turmeric powder delivers an authentic bright yellow colour that enlivens dals, vegetable stir-fries, and gravies without leaving any chalky residue, bitter aftertaste, or artificial colouring agents.

Ingredients, Flavour & Aroma Profile

Ingredients: 100% Selected dried whole turmeric rhizomes (Curcuma longa).
