Turmeric Powder 400g from East End's is 100% pure ground turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) — one of the most important, widely cultivated and intensely studied spice-plants in the world, native to South and South-East Asia, and a fundamental ingredient in Indian, South Asian, Middle Eastern and South-East Asian cuisine. Turmeric is obtained from the rhizome (underground stem) of the Curcuma longa plant, which is boiled, dried and then ground into the familiar, vibrantly golden-yellow fine powder. The characteristic deep, warm golden-orange-yellow colour of turmeric is due to its principal pigment compounds — the curcuminoids (curcumin, demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin) — which together represent approximately 2–5% of the dried powder. The flavour of turmeric is pleasantly earthy, slightly bitter, warm and gently pungent, with delicate floral and citrus undertones. In Indian cuisine, turmeric ("haldi") is an indispensable ingredient in curry powder blends, dals, rice dishes, marinades, and vegetable preparations — as much for its rich colour as for its flavour. 400 g.

What Is Planeta Zdorovia Turmeric Powder?
Planeta Zdorovia Turmeric Powder 400G is a finely ground culinary turmeric made from the rhizome of Curcuma longa. People usually choose turmeric powder for two main reasons: its warm, earthy taste and its rich golden colour, which gives character to curries, rice, soups, lentil dishes, marinades and even drinks such as golden milk. It is a simple pantry ingredient, but one with a long culinary history across Indian, South Asian and Middle Eastern cooking.
Colour and Character: Curcuminoids
What makes turmeric interesting is not only its flavour, but also its naturally occurring plant pigments called curcuminoids. These compounds give the powder its deep yellow-orange shade. In food, turmeric does more than season a dish — it also changes its appearance, making broths, sauces, grains and vegetable dishes look fuller and more vibrant. The rhizome is boiled, dried and ground into a fine spice, so it blends easily into both dry spice mixes and warm recipes.
How to Use It in the Kitchen
This ingredient suits people who enjoy cooking from scratch, building flavour with spices rather than relying only on salt or ready-made sauces. Its taste is gently bitter and lightly pungent, so it works best when balanced with other ingredients. Typical uses include:
- Stirring a small amount into curry bases
- Adding it to rice while cooking
- Mixing it into soups and lentil dishes
- Combining it with cumin, coriander and ginger for homemade spice blends
- Balancing with coconut milk, onion, garlic or black pepper to soften its pungency
A Few Things to Keep in Mind
Turmeric has been valued in traditional cuisine for generations — not as a trend ingredient, but as an everyday kitchen staple across much of Asia. If you are new to it, a few practical notes:
- Start with a modest amount, as the flavour can become dominant.
- The pigment can strongly stain utensils, chopping boards and fabrics.
- If you have specific dietary restrictions or plan to use turmeric in large amounts, it is sensible to check whether it suits your personal needs.

Customer Questions
Turmeric is a single ground spice with a gently bitter and lightly pungent flavour, so a little goes a long way. A common starting point is about ¼ teaspoon for a pot that serves two to four people; taste, then add more. You can always increase the amount, but it is hard to remove the colour or bitterness once it is stirred in.
The deep yellow-orange colour comes from naturally occurring plant pigments called curcuminoids, and the same pigments can strongly stain utensils, chopping boards, fabrics and skin. This is a sign of the spice's colour intensity, not a defect.
The 400 g pack is a pantry staple rather than a quick-use item, so storage matters for keeping the spice at its best. Ground turmeric keeps longest in a container with a tight-fitting lid, stored in a cool, dark, dry cupboard away from the hob, oven and direct sunlight.
Turmeric powder is one ingredient: the finely ground rhizome of Curcuma longa. Curry powder, by contrast, is a ready-made blend that usually contains turmeric but also spices such as cumin, coriander, chilli, fennel or fenugreek. The exact mix varies by brand and region.
The intense yellow-orange shade comes from naturally occurring plant pigments called curcuminoids, present in the fresh rhizome and retained after it is boiled, dried and ground. When you cook with the powder, the pigments colour the whole dish — which is exactly why turmeric is valued for appearance, not only for taste.
