Summary

USDA certified organic ground turmeric from Whole Foods' 365 brand. Organic certification is critical for turmeric — FDA and Consumer Reports have flagged conventional turmeric for lead contamination from unscrupulous processors adding lead chromate to enhance color. Certified organic eliminates this risk. Rich in curcumin, though bioavailability is enhanced dramatically by combining with black pepper (piperine).
