Turmeric powder is dried, ground turmeric root, the golden spice behind curries, rice, and golden-milk lattes. One metric cup (250 ml) of turmeric powder weighs about 150 grams or 5.29 ounces, dense from its fine grind. Most recipes call for it by the teaspoon, where 1 tsp weighs around 3 grams.

Ground turmeric is potent and stains everything it touches, so getting the amount right matters when seasoning. Measuring by weight keeps spice blends and pastes consistent batch to batch.
