What Is Cut & Sifted Turmeric Root?
Turmeric is a flowering plant in the ginger family, native to parts of South and Southeast Asia.
Its underground stem, commonly called turmeric root, is harvested, dried, and cut into smaller pieces for culinary and traditional herbal preparations.
Cut and sifted turmeric root, sometimes called turmeric tea bag cut, is particularly useful for making tea because the pieces can be steeped and strained without leaving behind as much sediment as turmeric powder.
