Schani Haldi is turmeric powder made from the dried and ground rhizomes of Curcuma longa, offering the characteristic bright golden color, warm earthy flavor, and mild peppery aroma used in kitchens worldwide. Turmeric is valued both as a culinary spice and in traditional practices; it lends color and depth to curries, rice, soups, sauces, marinades, and baked goods, and is commonly used to prepare warm spiced drinks such as golden milk and turmeric tea. The natural compound curcumin, which is present in turmeric, has been studied for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, and turmeric has a long history of use in food and cultural preparations. Store in an airtight container away from heat, light, and moisture to preserve color and flavor, and keep out of reach of children.

How to use: Add Schani Haldi a pinch to a teaspoon at a time when cooking to suit your taste—it blends well into curries, lentils, rice, soups, smoothies, and marinades; for a warm beverage, stir ½ to 1 teaspoon into hot milk or a milk alternative with a dash of black pepper to aid absorption. For topical or cosmetic use, mix a small amount with a carrier like yogurt, honey, or oil and perform a patch test first; avoid contact with eyes and clothing as turmeric can stain. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a medical condition, or take blood-thinning or other medications, consult a healthcare professional before using turmeric in larger-than-typical culinary amounts or as a supplement.
