What it is

Salt is a mineral compound, primarily sodium chloride, obtained from mines or evaporated seawater. Turmeric is a spice derived from the root of the Curcuma longa plant, typically dried and ground into a yellow-orange powder. When used together, they contribute both flavor and color to food products.

Why it's used

Salt is added to foods as a flavor enhancer and a preservative, inhibiting microbial growth and extending shelf life. Turmeric is used as a spice for its distinct earthy flavor and as a natural yellow-orange coloring agent. Together, they are frequently found in savory dishes, condiments like mustard, and pickled products.

Health notes

Both salt and turmeric are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for their intended uses. Excessive intake of sodium from salt is a public health concern, with the FDA Daily Value set at 2,300 mg. JECFA has evaluated both salt and turmeric, setting an acceptable daily intake for turmeric (curcumin) and evaluating salt. There are no notable controversies regarding the safety of turmeric at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Neither salt nor turmeric are considered major food allergens by the FDA.
