Cooking Tips
Don’t forget the fats, too.
Turmeric’s curcumin is also more bioavailable when paired with a fat like, ghee, coconut oil, or milk.
Why are there red flecks when I bake with turmeric?
When combined with a base, like baking soda, the curcumin in turmeric turns from orange to red. Acids, like citric acid, will make turmeric more yellow.
Bloom without burning.
Furthermore, when adding ground turmeric during the cooking process, add ¼ cup water and let it cook for 1 to 2 minutes until most of the water evaporates.

Pragati Turmeric was Diaspora’s first (and only) spice, when we began in 2017. Seven years later, it remains the star of our pantry, cherished for its earthy fragrance, notes of marigold, and deeply golden color.
This turmeric is the result of years long meticulous research and experimentation process between regenerative farmer Prabhu Kasaraneni, and the scientists at the Indian Institute of Spice Research.
Few farmers grow Pragati Turmeric, because it bears a lower yield than commercially grown varieties. But Prabhu says it is head and shoulders above the rest in terms of flavor and aroma. This is on account of its high curcumin content. Most turmeric has 1-1.5% curcumin; Pragati has 4.5-5%.
At Prabhu’s farm, turmeric grows in the company of marigolds, banana trees, and black rice. The soil is fed with manure from the cows, and precise organic blends made from native tree varieties. Each of these components contributes to an abundant soil biome, which yields its unforgettable flavor.
