What is EcoIdées Organic Turmeric Powder 500g used for?
No Indian cuisine is complete without Turmeric, the root of a plant widely cultivated in India. In food, it is used for the curcumin it contains, a bright yellow pigment that colors dishes. However, contemporary scientific research is interested in it for many other reasons, as turmeric seems to possess virtues which, while known in the Ayurvedic tradition since time immemorial, are of particular interest to Western populations seeking natural solutions to health problems.
Today, scientists are proving in the laboratory what traditional Indian knowledge has known for centuries. This research is essential if we are to break down the intellectual walls of certain medical and pharmaceutical schools of thought, which take a very dim view of what traditional remedies can really offer in the treatment of various pathologies, or, when the results are undeniable, try at all costs to stifle them by exerting pressure on the supposedly independent government bodies they fund.
EcoIdées Organic Turmeric Powder is a treasure trove of curcumin, the active compound responsible for the many health benefits associated with this spice. Curcumin is recognized for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and even anti-cancer properties, making turmeric a valuable ingredient to support your overall well-being.
Here are the main properties of turmeric:
- Anti-inflammatory: Curcumin, the main active compound in turmeric, has anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce inflammation in the body. This can be particularly beneficial for people suffering from inflammatory diseases such as arthritis.
- Antioxidant: Turmeric is rich in antioxidants, which help neutralize free radicals and protect cells from oxidative damage. Antioxidants can help reduce the risk of chronic disease and maintain overall health.
- Anti-cancer: Studies suggest that curcumin may have anti-cancer properties by inhibiting the growth of cancer cells and promoting their programmed cell death. However, further research is needed to confirm these effects.
- Digestive: Turmeric is traditionally used to aid digestion and relieve gastrointestinal disorders such as bloating and gas. It can also stimulate the production of bile, which can facilitate the digestion of fats.
- Antibacterial and antifungal: Turmeric has antibacterial and antifungal properties that can help fight bacterial and fungal infections. This can be useful for maintaining oral health and preventing skin infections.
- Immune system support: The antioxidants present in turmeric can boost the immune system by protecting cells from oxidative damage. In addition, its anti-inflammatory properties can help regulate the immune response.
- Cardiovascular protection: Some research suggests that curcumin may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by improving endothelial function, reducing inflammation and lowering cholesterol levels.
- Cognitive support: Preliminary studies suggest that curcumin may have beneficial effects on cognitive health by reducing inflammation and improving neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity. However, further research is needed to confirm these effects.

How do I use turmeric powder?
To reap the full benefits of curcumin, we recommend mixing turmeric with oil, as curcumin is fat-soluble. This mixture can be added to a variety of dishes, such as curries, vegetable stir-fries, soups or stews, to give them a rich, spicy flavor while offering health benefits.
If you find the flavor of turmeric too intense, you can stir it into applesauce to tone down its fiery flavor. This combination offers a delicious and enjoyable way to consume turmeric while enjoying its health benefits.
To reap the benefits of curcumin, turmeric should be mixed with oil (preferably 1 level teaspoon of turmeric to 1 tablespoon of olive oil), as curcumin is fat-soluble. This mixture can also be added to applesauce, to compensate for the spice's hot taste.
