It is superior to a brand I had been buying, and I think it is a good value for the quantity of the spice. I usually do not buy this much at once, so I froze three 2-ounce bags and filled one spice jar with turmeric to store in the refrigerator. Turmeric does not do well for more than a couple of months on the pantry shelf no matter what kind it is, so I recommend refrigeration unless you plan to use the full bag within a couple of months. It is definitely a high quality product. Review: Face feels nice & smooth afterwards - This stuff immediately begins targeting any hyperpygmentation you have in your face. Also leaves a smooth feeling after the fact. As you’ll find on most sites, mix with honey & water for an enhanced result (throw whatever else makes you feel good inside as well). Be careful, this stuff can get messy in a hurry. Immediately wash in and around your sink if you notice the orange hue of the turmeric making its mark. If you’ve got fingernails yes it will stain there as well (nothing permanent though). But it’s totally worth it!! Also this stuff is edible and can also be used as a spice in dishes. It’s recommended that you eat some as well to also help further combat ACNE and improve the overall quality of your skin. BTW, I conduct my mixing inside a shaving bowl (stainless steel). It’s quite effective. I use my bare hands cuz I don’t mind getting a lil dirty. Lastly, legend has it that brides to be in India cover their entire bodies in turmeric on the night before they say “I do”. Apparently many happy weddings have occurred as a result. ## Features - ORGANIC TURMERIC POWDER (CURCUMA LONGA) - 16oz/453g Resealable Bag (1 Pound) - IMPORTED FROM INDIA - This bag contains certified organic, turmeric powder harvested from turmeric plants in India - HEALTHY & DELICIOUS - Add some spice to your day with our organic turmeric root powder.

A fat-soluble molecule, curcumin constitutes roughly 1 to 6 percent of turmeric’s dry weight. Curcumin is extremely sensitive to light, moisture, and heat. Roughly 85 percent is destroyed when turmeric is boiled for 15 to 30 minutes. Furthermore, it degrades rapidly (within 30 minutes or so) at a neutral pH. The rate of destruction increases sharply as the pH increases (becomes more alkaline). In laboratory situations, some proteins stabilize curcumin. Whether the same happens in the kitchen with proteins such as the albumin in milk has yet to be determined. Hope this helps ðŸ~ **Q: Has this product been proved led free?** A: According to an article I have just read, some manufacturers do indeed adulterate by adding a substance called lead chromate to the Turmeric powder in order to enhance the yellow coloring of the product, also, the adding of lead chromate increases the weight of turmeric powder, meaning that manufacturers can sell less of the product at an inflated price. In light of this revelation, I will opt to forego the purchase of the powder, and instead, I will purchase the fresh turmeric root at my local Whole Foods. **Q: What is the percentage of curcumin in this turmeric?** A: On 4-3-18 Brad Harbach, the founder of FGO replied to my email this: "We have not completed testing of our most recent batch. Historically it has been ~2.5% curcumin". **Q: does it help with poor blood circulation?** A: I don't know abt circulation. I just know that with consistent regular doses it has made a difference in how I feel ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Aromatic *by S***D on December 29, 2025* This turmeric smells very fresh and has a robust flavor.
