Owner's Message
Called the capital of "Pei saffron" by the inhabitants of the island, Plaine des Grégues is a charming little village located in the hollow of green mountains where the sunshine and the coolness make the cultivation of turmeric possible. For decades, generations of planters have succeeded one another in cultivating this root. The house of turmeric invites you to discover the manufacture of the golden powder which makes the richness of the Reunionese dishes (fish curry, chicken...). Without forgetting the other spices that you can smell while passing by the Creole kitchens like pepper, massalé, vanilla, powdered or candied ginger, arrowroot etc..
Other products of the soil which take place on the shelves of the families such as delicious marmalades sweetened with honey are proposed to the tasting and the sale (tangor, mandarin, lemon, guava...). The whole house of turmeric wishes you to titillate your pupils while waiting to delight your taste buds.
