Pragati Turmeric

Our Pragati Turmeric adds warmth, color, and depth to curries, dals, soups, rice dishes, roasted vegetables, and marinades, and it works especially well as turmeric for curry where you want a deeper, more complex flavor. It's also delicious whisked into golden milk, blended into smoothies, or stirred into homemade spice blends and dressings.

Turmeric is a staple across South Asian cooking, bringing earthy flavor and brilliant color to curries, dals, roasted vegetables, soups, rice, and marinades. It's equally at home in golden milk, smoothies, vinaigrettes, and other everyday turmeric recipes where you want a little warmth and brightness.

Absolutely. Turmeric for golden milk is a classic pairing, gently simmered with dairy or plant-based milk and often combined with cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and black pepper. The black pepper isn't just traditional, it also helps increase the bioavailability of curcumin, one of the compounds behind turmeric's health benefits.

Absolutely. Turmeric for rice gives it a beautiful golden color along with a subtle earthy, citrusy warmth. It pairs beautifully with cumin, garlic, onions, whole spices, and ghee, making it an easy way to bring more flavor and color to everything from simple weeknight rice to celebratory biryanis and pilafs.

Store them in an airtight container in a dark, dry place. Do not store spices in direct sunlight, as this will shorten their shelf life.

Most of the spices are good 2 years from the mill date, which is listed on the harvest label sticker on the jar or bag. That being said, our spices are extremely potent and fresh as we take incredible care to source yearly and aim for quality, so 2 years is our most conservative guideline, compared to most spices in the grocery store which are often 5-10 years old upon purchase.

Our farm partners have been cultivating spices using practices that go "beyond organic" for well over five years. Although they haven't obtained USDA certification yet, this is primarily because the initial certification can be costly and may lead to cycles of debt. To meet USDA standards, four years of inspections and certificates are required after the first certification. However, we consider this process redundant and unnecessary since we conduct thorough testing on every batch we procure. It's a prerequisite for Diaspora Co. to select farm partners whose soil health and agricultural practices align with our internal standards of growing food regeneratively.
