What Is the Difference Between Curry Powder and Turmeric?

Have you ever got confused between mint and coriander? Yes, it can be very much problematic. As you know, there are many spices that are each other’s look-alike, and differentiating between them can be very difficult.

Most people think that curry powder and turmeric are the same and can be used as each other’s replacements. But the fact is that they both have different health benefits, and using one at the place of another will create a massive difference as they both have entirely different flavors.

Curry powder and turmeric look precisely the same. You can easily mistake one for another. But the fact is that these both are entirely different ingredients. You can quickly feel their difference when cooking with both or anyone. Have a look at how these two are different

What is the difference?

This is where the debate on curry powder vs. turmeric begins.

Turmeric, a rhizome relating to ginger, appears like ginger too before you peel it. Its flavor is mild, and you will not feel any flavor unless you use a lot of it,  after which it will taste like remains of citrus and ginger. Excessive use of turmeric will make it taste bitter. Turmeric is bright yellow, whereas curry powder’s distinctive color is because of the presence of turmeric.

Turmeric is mostly used in Asian foods. It is the primary ingredient in cooking, but it is also famous for its medical benefits. It is often used as a substitute for saffron because of its color and flavor. Turmeric is renowned for its medicinal benefits as it is anti-inflammatory because of a compound called curcumin present in it.

Curry powder is a blend of various spices and not only turmeric, as it is responsible for the color of curry powder. Curry powder contains spices like cumin, coriander, fenugreek, etc. so it is tough to feel the mild flavor of turmeric. Curry powder cannot be known as a source of nutrition, but it has many ingredients with nutrition.

Can you use to replace one with another?

Turmeric cannot replace curry powder. It lacks the flavor and pungency that you will get by using typical curry powder. If you want your curry powder only to be bright yellow and flavorless, then you can consider using turmeric. It is an essential

When to use what?

Turmeric’s use depends upon its color. Its yellow color makes it an addition to soups, pickles, and soups. Turmeric can be added to fruit juices and smoothies.

Curry powder is essential if you are making an Asian dish. It can be used as a seasoning on fries and can be used as a dry rub for meat.
