Tumeric has a broad range of beneficial properties. It bolsters the immune system, purifies the blood, and promotes clear, healthy skin. Turmeric (Curcuma longa) strengthens digestion and eliminates toxins from the GI tract. It supports proper function of the pancreas, reduces kapha, and promotes healthy blood glucose levels that are already within the normal range. Turmeric soothes and nourishes the joint tissue and promotes comfortable movement.

Kitchari is the Ayurveda staple food. This traditional spice mix was designed with both your lifestyle and your health in mind: tumeric bolsters the immune system, purifies the blood, and promotes clear and healthy skin; mustard seed support a healthy digestive fire; and cumin helps to support both a healthy appetite and digestive process. This delicious and versatile spice mix also includes ginger, asafoetida,fenugreek, and mineral salt. Most traditional Ayurvedic kitchens have a box that contains five to six essential spices that are used in almost every meal. We have combined these spices together so that you can simply use a spoonful when cooking kitchari—though Kitchari Spice Mix is by no means limited to kitchari alone. Try it on roasted veggies, stir-fry, lentil soup, even popcorn!
