Turmeric Powder (1%) is a low-curcumin grade turmeric powder widely used for general culinary purposes, where strong medicinal properties are not the primary requirement. It is derived from the dried rhizomes of the turmeric plant (Curcuma longa) and ground into a fine, golden-yellow powder. This particular grade contains around 1% curcumin, making it suitable for mass-market food applications, flavoring, coloring, and seasoning needs.

Although the curcumin content is lower compared to premium grades (which range from 3%–5%), Turmeric Powder (1%) still retains its distinct earthy aroma and coloring strength, which makes it an affordable and practical choice for use in spice blends, food service kitchens, snack industries, and processed food production.

This grade is often preferred by bulk buyers and food processors looking for a cost-effective solution without compromising on basic quality and safety. The powder is processed under standard hygiene protocols in FSSAI-certified facilities and undergoes basic quality checks to ensure it is free from foreign particles, artificial colorants, and adulterants.

Though it is not typically used in high-end health or Ayurvedic formulations due to the lower curcumin levels, it remains a popular option in domestic markets, especially in packaged spice mixes, curry powders, and as a base ingredient in budget spice brands.
