Organic Turmeric Ghee — Golden, Infused (Ghee Appétit, 300ml)

Turmeric and ghee are the oldest pairing in the Ayurvedic kitchen. Curcumin — the active compound in turmeric — is fat-soluble, which means it needs a fat to be absorbed by the body. Ghee is the fat the tradition pairs it with, and the combination is more than the sum of its parts. In India, turmeric is traditionally never eaten raw — it's considered too harsh on the digestive system. It is always cooked or infused in a fat first. Turmeric ghee is the most concentrated and refined form of that preparation. Ghee Appétit's Turmeric Ghee starts with the same slow-clarified organic ghee as their Original, then has organic turmeric root infused gently into the warm fat. The result is a brilliant orange-gold ghee with a warm, earthy aroma that softens turmeric's sharpness. The product took a Great British Food Award in 2022 and a Great Taste Award the same year. Stir a teaspoon into warm milk for the simplest possible golden milk. Use it to roast root vegetables, to season dal or kitchari, to finish a soup. In Indian tradition, a turmeric ghee latte is given for postpartum nourishment as a matter of course.
