Ujamaa Single Origin Kibeni Cooperative Turmeric 40g
Acclaimed turmeric boasts a zesty and earthy flavour profile, and this single-origin treasure is cultivated entirely organically by our partner women's cooperative in the Kibeni village.
Cultivated in the quaint village of Kibeni, nestled at the northern tip of Unguja Island, this turmeric is the labour of love from a remarkable collective of women. They tend to small plots of land near their homes, and this turmeric stands as one of their primary sources of income. Unfortunately, their yields have steadily declined because they cannot afford to purchase organic compost to fertilize their lands, primarily due to the low local prices of turmeric.
These dedicated women invest their hearts and souls into producing this exquisite turmeric, which we are genuinely thrilled to introduce to you. Your purchase will empower them to transition to organic fertilizers and provide their lands with much-needed rejuvenation.
The terrain surrounding Kibeni is arid and sweltering, with soil boasting a deep orange hue, echoing the vibrancy of the turmeric it yields. While the yield may be modest, and the turmeric may be petite, they are rich in concentration, flaunting an abundance of flavour and colour.
On this island, there is no industrialized mass production or monoculture of turmeric. Instead, turmeric thrives amid banana, plantain, and yam crops, which supplement the villagers' diets. This represents the epitome of small-scale and authentic farming.
Incorporate this turmeric into your curries to infuse your meal with a delightful color and an authentic flavour. Alternatively, add it to your smoothie for a burst of antioxidants. And if you're seeking an invigorating pick-me-up, mix it with a hot milk of your choice, along with some of our cinnamon, ginger, and black pepper.
Flavour notes:
Seville Orange - Autumn Leaves - Jasmine
