1. Introduction to Dried Turmeric
Table of Contents
Dried Turmeric (Curcuma longa), known as Nghệ Khô in Vietnam, is often referred to as “The Golden Spice.” It is world-renowned for its active compound, Curcumin, which provides its vibrant color and exceptional medicinal properties. Vietnamese turmeric is particularly sought after for its high essential oil and curcuminoid content compared to other regional varieties.
At Vinahugo, we source fresh turmeric from the highlands, where the mineral-rich soil produces roots with a deep orange hue. We utilize low-temperature heat-pump drying to preserve the heat-sensitive curcumin and volatile oils, ensuring that our dried turmeric retains its full therapeutic and culinary power.
