Do Turmeric and citrus go together? What makes a good Turmeric flavour pairing? Turmeric and citrus – do these flavours really work together? These are questions we kept asking ourselves too. After all, it isn’t a flavour combination that we were very familiar with, but the answer is yes, Turmeric and citrus flavours complement each other perfectly and we now know why!
Belonging to the ginger family, Turmeric looks like Ginger’s mini-me with papery, knobbly skin, but deep yellow or orange inside. Its characteristic bright colouring is the reason the superfood is sometimes referred to as the “golden spice” or “Indian saffron”. Turmeric sits in the spice rack but we wouldn’t call it spicy or hot. It has an earthy, aromatic, bitter taste profile and slight warming, peppery undernotes. Turmeric is now commonly found in health supplements and skincare where its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties are harnessed to support various conditions including arthritic and muscle pains, joint ailments, immune issues and skin flareups.
Citrus is one of the topmost flavours and scents in the world with its refreshing, uplifting properties associated with optimism. A noteworthy fact: the citrus fruits we enjoy every day are cultivated species from only three ancestors – citron, pomelo and mandarin – all native to south and east Asia. Our grocery store favourites – limes, lemons, oranges and grapefruit – are products of natural crossing in the wild and selective cultivation in farms. Citrus fruits like Lime can benefit our immune health as they are rich in vitamin C, phytochemicals and antioxidants.
Citrus and bitter flavours balance well together, with citrus providing a zesty freshness to the savoury notes of Turmeric. Interestingly too, there are scents of orange and ginger in Turmeric that lean in to complement with citrus flavours, giving that unexpected edge and sweetness.
