Ird's (Ethiopian Tumeric) is characterized by poignant tones that are a staple in Eastern African cooking. The pungent and earthy-bitter root has a distinct flavor that is commonly used to enrich alicha recipes and other mild stews and sauces.

Apart from its culinary uses, turmeric’s powerful anti-inflammatory agents have long been used for medicinal purposes including aiding digestion, cleansing the skin, and more. Any infusion in tea can work as an anti-inflammatory or serve as a substitute for saffron.
