Dried Turmeric Root Slices | Whole Indian Curcumin Root | 12 oz
Kosbee Dried Turmeric Root Slices are whole turmeric root (Curcuma longa), sliced and dried — a Product of India, 100% pure with no powder, fillers, or additives — for a clear, grit-free golden tea.
What Are Dried Turmeric Root Slices?
These are whole turmeric roots, simply washed, sliced, and dried — not ground. Because they're kept whole, they brew into a clear golden cup with none of the gritty residue that powder leaves behind, and they hold their aroma far longer.
Each slice carries the deep, earthy, peppery character of real turmeric, ready for tea, cooking, or infusions.
The finest herbal teas leave no powder behind. The moment turmeric is ground, its essential oils start to evaporate and oxidize. Kosbee slices and dries top-grade turmeric grown in India, keeping its golden color and deep, earthy aroma inside each piece. Discover real turmeric tea that brews clear and clean, with no chalky aftertaste.
A Clear, Grit-Free Golden Cup
Powdered turmeric clouds your cup, sinks to the bottom, and catches in your throat. Whole slices steep into a clean, transparent golden tea instead — all the color and flavor you want, without the chalky texture you don't.
Whole Root, Never Powder
Most turmeric on the market is powder, where you can't see what you're getting. These are whole slices you can inspect — 100% real root with nothing blended in. Carefully sourced and sliced from the homeland of turmeric.

From India, the Home of Turmeric
India is where turmeric grows deepest in color and flavor, and it's the source of these slices. Curcumin — the natural plant pigment behind turmeric's golden color — is what gives the brewed cup its bright hue. Turmeric has been an everyday cooking and tea ingredient across Asia for thousands of years.
Ways to Use Turmeric Slices
Just 2 to 3 slices brew a single cup, so one bulk pack lasts through months of daily use.
- Clear golden tea: Simmer about 0.35 oz (10 g) of slices in 4 cups (1 liter) of water for 15 to 20 minutes. A pinch of black pepper with lemon and ginger rounds out the flavor.
- Turmeric rice: Drop 1 to 2 slices into the pot — no clumping, just an even golden color and gentle flavor through every grain. Remove the slices before eating.
- Infused oil or broth: Add to olive oil or chicken broth for clean color and flavor without cloudiness.
How to Enjoy It Safely
Turmeric's natural color stains, so keep wet slices off light clothing and counters.
If you are pregnant or nursing, have surgery scheduled, or take blood-thinning medication, talk to your doctor before drinking it regularly.
It's a firm dried root — simmer it for tea, broth, or rice and lift the pieces out; don't chew them raw.
Common Questions About Turmeric Slices
Is this real whole turmeric from India?
Yes. These are whole turmeric roots grown in India — a Product of India — simply sliced and dried by Kosbee, never ground. Nothing is blended in: no powder, no fillers, no dyes, and no flours. You can see exactly what you're brewing in every slice.
How do I brew turmeric slice tea?
Simmer about 0.35 oz (10 g) of slices (2 to 3 per cup) in 4 cups (1 liter) of water for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden and clear. A pinch of black pepper with lemon and ginger rounds out the flavor. The 12 oz (340 g) pack lasts for months of daily tea.
Any cautions, staining, or allergens?
Turmeric contains none of the Big 9 allergens, but its natural color stains, so keep wet slices off light clothing and counters. If you are pregnant or nursing, have surgery scheduled, or take blood-thinning medication, talk to your doctor before regular use.
Why choose slices over turmeric powder?
Powder oxidizes quickly, clouds your cup, and can hide fillers. Whole slices stay fresher far longer, brew into a clear grit-free tea, and let you verify 100% real root. They're also easy to lift out of rice, broth, or infusions when you're done.
