Turmeric has a peppery aroma and a warm, musky flavor. It is often substituted for the more expensive spice, Saffron. Some say the flavor and color are the same. Turmeric is a staple of Moroccan dishes and is one of the key ingredients to Ras el Hanout. Often it is used to flavor lamb and vegetables. In Indian cooking, it is added to rice dishes and curries.

Turmeric is also prized throughout history for its healing properties. We invite you to read up on all the current medical studies that have been published on PUBMED.GOV for all the exciting recent findings.



SKIN CARE TIPS:
Did you know that Turmeric is also prized for natural skin care? Turmeric is effective in the treatment of acne due to antiseptic properties. It also helps control oily skin by regulating the production of sebum (an oily substance produced by the sebaceous glands). Combined with Rhassoul, it is an excellent exfoliate. With over two dozen anti-inflammatory properties, Turmeric fights free-radicals which contribute to the aging process.

Handmade and hand-painted, the Tangier Yellow Tagine combines traditional Moroccan cooking with a distinctive embossed Moorish design. Its warm yellow finish makes it beautiful enough to bring directly from the kitchen to the table.

Temple of Heaven Green Gunpowder Pinhead Tea is the highest quality tea in our opinion. It is the Moroccan's favorite type of tea to make the traditional Moroccan Mint Tea. It is called Pinhead Gunpowder Tea because of the small, delicate pellets, which are much smaller than the standard leaf of a gunpowder green tea. The cup color is slightly lighter and the infusion a bit more complex and aromatic - with a slight flowery undertone.

We recommend infusing this tea slightly longer to allow time for the delicate leaves to unfurl. Adding fresh mint leaves make an excellent refreshing accompaniment.
