A little ingredient context
Ginger and turmeric both come from underground stems called rhizomes. Your spice drawer has a family tree.
Read the plant facts at KewCulinary turmeric powder and concentrated curcumin extract are different ingredients. Use what each recipe specifies. A whole Blendz packet also contains other ingredients, so it is not a spoon-for-spoon substitute for a single spice.
