Superfood 101: Turmeric Powder
It's time to spice up your life!
We are thrilled to announce that we have added another organic product to our line - 100% USDA Certified Organic Healthworks Turmeric Powder!
Traditionally called "Indian saffron" or "yellow root" because of it comes from the root of the Curcuma longa plant and has a tough brown skin and a deep orange flesh. This spice was regularly used throughout history as a condiment, healing remedy, and textile dye.
Turmeric is known for its warm aroma, bright color, and gingery/peppery taste that has been heavily used in cooking throughout Asia, India, Morocco, and the Middle East. Just a small pinch of the powder will add a nice orange-yellow hue & taste to salad dressings and yogurts! We love using it in soups, curries, and with vegetables & meat (particularly lamb). It will also complement any recipe that uses rice, lentils and beans. For more turmeric recipe inspiration, click HERE.
As with all of our other Healthworks products, our Turmeric Powder is hand selected from small sustainable farmers to provide a truly exquisite powder to your front door. It is all natural, non-irradiated, and non-GMO.
Our Healthworks customers will love this high-purity powder that not only has a great taste, but powerful anti-inflammatory effects and antioxidant properties as well!
Try it out today, HERE on our website (FREE shipping on all orders) and also on AMAZON (w/ Prime shipping available)!

Hi Michael Jones
Thank you for your purchase and question. We would like to let you know that the percentage of curcumin in turmeric capsules can be different to the percentage in natural turmeric powder, and can vary across brands.
We can let you know that Healthworks turmeric powder contains about 2-3% curcumin per tablespoon. The turmeric powder is also certified organic and does not contain any added ingredients.
Everyone has a different body, we believe listening to your body and seeing what works best for you. If you feel uncertain, we recommend seeking advice from a nutritionist or healthcare professional. We hope this helps, and feel free to email us at info@healthworks.com with any further questions you might have.
I purchased a 1# bag of your Turmeric Powder on Amazon. I would like to know how much product will fit in a #000 capsule and too, how many caps I can safely consume daily. This to attain maximum health benefits from taking this superfood. My wife and I are not into Indian foods nor do we enjoy the taste of Turmeric, so filling our own capsules seemed to be the best alternative. Also, is your product pure enough to get sufficient amounts, using this method, to realize its’ Health benefits?
Hi Art Rometo,
Thank you for your question and interest in Healthworks turmeric powder. Healthworks turmeric powder is certified organic and does not contain any added ingredients. The turmeric powder is third-party tested following production. We regularly have our turmeric powder tested, and it is not approved until our Quality Assurance technician verifies it is within acceptable limitations for impurities, including heavy metals such as, cadmium, arsenic, lead, mercury, and aluminum. With that being said, it is important to consume turmeric powder with respect, as it is a superfood.
Here at Healthworks, we stand behind our products and take customer satisfaction very seriously. Please feel free to email us at info@healthworks.com, if you have any further questions or concerns.
Is your turmeric power tested for heavy metals such as lead?
