Frontier Co-op bulk organic, Fair Trade Certified™ ground turmeric root is golden-yellow in color, with a pungent, earthy aroma and a flavor with elements of both ginger and pepper. There has been a notable surge in the use of turmeric recently based on its wellness properties. Turmeric is an key ingredient in curries and East Indian cooking and is commonly used to add robust flavor to savory dishes around the world. Our turmeric root is also kosher certified.
Fair Trade Certified* is an award-winning sustainable sourcing model that improves the livelihoods of farming families through fair prices, direct trade and community development. It also supports environmental stewardship and builds resilient, transparent supply chains. Certified by a third party, Frontier Co-op was the first spice company in the U.S. to offer Fair Trade Certified spices into the market.
With Frontier's partner in Kerala, India, our Fair Trade Certified turmeric can be traced to the small-holder farmer. Frontier's projects with these farmers actually expand beyond just the certification with a number of projects that help farmers manage their crops through ongoing climate change, including past funding of a soil, plant and water testing lab, investing in an organic agriculture training program focused on building the soil and biodiversity, and promoting local varieties of turmeric that are hardier against flood and drought conditions.
