    What’s really in your spice rack? In this exclusive investigation by The Food Programme, Jaega Wise investigates the authenticity of spices sold by a number of high street, online and health food chains. Using brand new technology outside of the lab for the first time, she will test herbs and spices from some of the biggest household names and retailers, including Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, Amazon and more. Plus, we hear from leading experts on the UK’s food defence frontline to find out just how challenging it is to detect fraud and police this lucrative area. Produced by Nina Pullman for BBC Audio in Bristol

    Old India is amongst the companies mentioned here selling adulterated spices - take great care!

    Results start at around 11minutes in. Old India did have a failure, they also had a pass. They didn't test Old India turmeric here.

    Old India blends and bags in Leicester. They're likely not using a single supplier for any ingredient. Even if they test well today, the next batch could be a bag of lead paint. I've no idea if Old India does their own testing. Their failure would suggest that anything they are doing isn't enough.

    As an individual —without extraordinary means— you're pretty powerless. You can't test everything. The only way to have any confidence is to properly fund our food safety bodies. Equip them with the people and machines to do spot checks on import.

    Great for it's anti inflammatory properties. Add it to all you can. I use it mainly for a light coating on roasted potatoes and in my home made mint yoghurt sauce.

    Thanks OP. Turmeric is an antiinflammatory and can be useful against pain.
    However Turmeric is a blood thinner and causes kidney stones. You should really consult your Doctor before taking in case it interferes with other meds. Older people should avoid.
    I also remember reading something about check the source as some people add dye to make the colour brighter and it is contaminated and not pure. (edited)

    It is not used as medical products but as herbs to flavour food and give colour.

    I like ordering 1kg bags from Amazon. 3 times they have sent the wrong spice. Contacted customer services and they send the right one out and you don’t have to return the incorrect one

    Good for teeth, nails and light coloured kitchen worktops

    Check out Hal Robson-Kanu's (yes, the ex-footballer) The Tumeric Co at theturmeric.co
    His product is available in most supermarkets.
    An an athlete, he probably knows what he's doing. (edited)

    I've only recently discovered that turmeric coffee is a thing

    Everything is a 'Thing' with melianol's.
    And they're not too shy is shouting about it, but they have to spend over $10 for a coffee

    Tumeric is tasteless to me, I find I can add it to almost anything.
    dragonballz78's avatar
    Tasteless? Then it's not a good quality then. The ones I use have strong taste (ground from fresh snd also some dried ground powder one)
  11. ssc1's avatar
    Good stuff.
  12. Wrought-Iron's avatar
    For that price (and generally anywhere near that price point), it won't be potent at all, neither properties wise for medicinal use nor cooking ie taste. Much better off getting direct from India or (as in most peoples case) in it's raw natural form, as it's more widely available nowadays (edited)

    I prefer Rajah branded spices.

    I keep buying these spices in 1kg bags. You get an awful lot for your money. It's going to be hard to get through it.
