Great product, helps with digestion but also with arthritis and my skin
Two spices from organic farming, combined in the same capsule. Turmeric contains curcumin, its yellow-orange pigment. Black pepper increases the bioavailability of curcumin, that is, the share of it the body can actually absorb.
For anyone who enjoys turmeric in cooking and wants to take it every day in a simple form, without adding it to every dish, with black pepper that helps the body absorb curcumin better. Handy at the office or when travelling: 2 capsules at mealtimes. For people who prefer ingredients from organic farming.
In Indian cooking, turmeric rarely goes without black pepper. We have kept this duo just as it is: turmeric rhizome and black pepper, both from organic farming, simply ground, with no extraction or concentration. Two capsules a day with meals.
And behind this golden yellow powder lies a long history.
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a cousin of ginger. The part that is used is its rhizome, an underground stem with bright orange flesh. India alone produces the vast majority of the world’s harvest.
Its colour fascinated travellers. At the end of the 13th century, Marco Polo described it as a plant that has “all the properties of true saffron”: hence its nickname, Indian saffron. Even today, it is what gives curry its golden colour, and its pigment, curcumin, is a food colouring authorised under the code E100.
In India, it goes far beyond the kitchen. Before a wedding, the haldi ceremony, haldi being the Hindi name for turmeric, involves smearing the bride and groom with turmeric paste, amid the laughter of the family.
Black pepper (Piper nigrum) is the fruit of a climbing vine native to the Malabar Coast, present-day Kerala, in southern India. Picked while still green, the berries turn black as they dry in the sun.
For centuries, it was worth its weight in gold. In 408, to lift the siege of Rome, the Visigothic king Alaric demanded gold, silver… and thousands of pounds of pepper. In the Middle Ages, people sometimes paid their rent or taxes in peppercorns.
In Indian cooking, turmeric is almost never used on its own: it is fried with pepper and a fat, often ghee. This pairing has caught the interest of researchers, who are studying piperine, the compound that gives pepper its heat, for its role in the absorption of curcumin. We tell this story in detail in our article “Turmeric and black pepper: why pair them”.
Organic Turmeric & Black Pepper simply takes up this traditional pairing: 280 mg of turmeric powder and 10 mg of black pepper powder per capsule.
Organic Turmeric & Black Pepper is for adults who enjoy these two spices and wish to include them in their daily life in a simple, organic form.
