What it is
Salt is a mineral made of sodium chloride. Turmeric is a spice derived from the root of the Curcuma longa plant, known for its bright yellow-orange color. Together, they are used as a seasoning blend.
Why it's used
This blend is primarily used to add flavor to foods. Salt enhances taste and acts as a preservative, while turmeric contributes a warm, earthy flavor and a vibrant color. It is often found in sauces, marinades, and processed meats.
Health notes
Salt (sodium chloride) is an essential nutrient, but high intake is linked to increased blood pressure in some individuals. The FDA recommends limiting sodium intake. Turmeric contains curcumin, which has been studied for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated turmeric and its extracts. Evidence on the health effects of turmeric at typical dietary intake levels is ongoing.
Allergen info
Neither salt nor turmeric are among the FDA's 9 major food allergens. Turmeric is naturally gluten-free.
