Ground turmeric is a spice made from the dried underground stem of the turmeric plant. It provides fat and protein alongside minerals, including iron, magnesium and potassium. Per 100g, ground turmeric contains 7g of fat, 6.7g of protein, 40mg of iron and 2910mg of potassium.
Iron is needed to make haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen around the body. Potassium contributes to normal nerve and muscle function. Turmeric is generally used in small amounts as a seasoning, so the quantities of nutrients supplied in cooking are much lower than the amounts shown per 100g. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
