Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the origin of Tur-Immuno Bites?
The idea for Kuksi Tur-Immuno Bites comes from an ancient Ayurvedic preparation called Khadbaddi.
Khadbaddi was a semi-solid blend made with raw turmeric, raw ginger, ghee (butter), and brown sugar (jaggery).
It had a strong, bitter flavor and was traditionally eaten one or two spoonfuls at a time with warm milk or tea to strengthen the body and improve digestion during seasonal changes.
At Kuksi Foods, we’ve reimagined this age-old recipe for the modern world — transforming it into a nutrient-rich, plant-based cookie made with raw turmeric, raw ginger, coconut oil, and natural sweeteners like dates or coconut nectar.
It’s the same ancient wisdom, now in a form that’s tasty, shelf-stable, and easy to enjoy daily.

Why did you turn the traditional Khadbaddi into a cookie?
Traditional Khadbaddi was powerful but not pleasant — thick, bitter, and medicinal in taste.
At Kuksi Foods, we wanted to preserve its ancient benefits while making it something families could truly enjoy.
That’s how the Tur-Immuno Bites were born — a snack, not a supplement.
They’re delicious, shelf-stable, and kid-friendly, offering the same wellness roots of turmeric and ginger in a form that feels joyful, not medicinal.
Our goal is simple: to turn something once taken for health into something you reach for with happiness.
How do you source your turmeric and ginger roots?
At Kuksi Foods, we believe in simple, honest sourcing. We use whole, raw turmeric and ginger roots obtained through local farmers, cooperatives, and trusted partners.
Because Kuksi is still a growing small business, we currently depend on supplier-provided information — including product origin, organic certifications, and growing practices — to verify quality and purity.
We review these details carefully and select only those suppliers who meet our clean-label and food-safety standards.
As we grow, our goal is to build direct partnerships with local farms and introduce batch-level transparency, so every customer can trace their ingredients back to the source.
What makes your process “Ancient Wisdom”?
We use a 4-hour slow, natural process inspired by traditional Ayurvedic methods.
This gentle technique maximizes the release and preservation of turmeric and ginger’s beneficial compounds — polyphenols and flavonoids — without using extracts or chemicals.
It’s food the way nature intended: simple, functional, and pure.
What quality checks do you perform?
While we do not currently perform heavy-metal testing on every batch, our process includes strict ingredient verification.
We perform visual and sensory inspection of all raw roots, check supplier certifications, and maintain clean, controlled handling during production.
We work with suppliers who meet U.S. FDA and organic compliance standards.
How much curcumin is in each Tur-Immuno Bite?
Each Tur-Immuno Bite (22 g) naturally contains about 91.67 mg of curcumin, the active compound in turmeric.
Raw turmeric contains 3–5 % curcumin by weight, and each cookie includes roughly 2 g of turmeric.
Calculation:
2 g × 4.58 % = 0.0916 g ≈ 91.67 mg curcumin.
| Serving | Curcumin (approx.) |
| 1 bite | 91.7 mg |
| 2 bites | 183 mg |
| 5 bites | 458 mg |
Clinical studies use 500–2 000 mg/day of curcumin extracts, but our bites provide food-form curcumin that’s gentle, balanced, and safe for daily use.

Are your bites gluten-free, vegan, or organic?
Yes! All Kuksi Foods products are 100 % Gluten-Free, Vegan, and Organic.
We never use refined sugar, preservatives, or artificial sweeteners.
Do Kuksi Tur-Immuno Bites contain lead?
Trace minerals such as lead occur naturally in soil, air, and water.
We use whole, raw turmeric and ginger roots, not imported powders — so the risk of adulteration with lead chromate does not apply to our process.
While we do not currently conduct heavy-metal testing, we source responsibly and follow the FDA’s ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) for natural trace elements in food.

Can Tur-Immuno Bites be eaten every day for the long term?
Yes — absolutely!
Kuksi Tur-Immuno Bites are real food, not supplements or extracts, so they’re safe and nourishing for daily, long-term enjoyment.
Each bite is made with raw turmeric and raw ginger in their natural form, gently processed to preserve beneficial plant compounds.
Unlike concentrated capsules, our bites provide turmeric as part of a balanced whole-food matrix with coconut oil and natural sweeteners.
✨ Everyday guidance:
- Adults: 2–4 bites per day (or more if desired)
- Kids: 1–3 bites per day (or more if desired)
Best enjoyed with warm milk, tea, or coffee to support natural absorption.
How many Tur-Immuno Bites can I eat daily?
You can enjoy 2–4 bites daily — or more, depending on your preference!
They’re gentle enough for everyday snacking, suitable for both adults and children.
Why combine turmeric and ginger?
In both Ayurvedic tradition and modern research, turmeric and ginger work synergistically to support anti-inflammatory, digestive, and immune functions.
Their bioactive compounds — curcuminoids in turmeric and gingerols/shogaols in ginger — complement one another beautifully.
Are there any allergens in Tur-Immuno Bites?
Yes — tree nuts (almonds) are present.
Our Tur-Immuno Bites are made with almond flour, which is a tree-nut ingredient.
We do not use peanuts, soy, dairy, wheat, or eggs, and our bites are gluten-free, vegan, and plant-based.
However, individuals with tree-nut allergies should avoid this product.

Who should consult a healthcare professional before consuming?
People taking blood thinners, those with gallbladder issues, or pregnant individuals should consult their healthcare provider before consuming large quantities of turmeric-based foods.
Are there any side effects or precautions with turmeric?
Turmeric is generally safe when consumed in food form, as in our Tur-Immuno Bites.
However, as with any natural ingredient, a few precautions apply — especially for individuals with specific medical conditions or those taking certain medications.
- Mild digestive sensitivity: Large or concentrated doses of turmeric extract may sometimes cause nausea or stomach upset.
- Gallbladder concerns: Those with gallstones or bile duct obstruction should consult their doctor before consuming large amounts of turmeric.
- Blood-thinning medications: Turmeric may enhance the effects of anticoagulants (like aspirin, warfarin, or NSAIDs).
- Pregnancy and lactation: Turmeric in food form is safe, but high-dose supplements are not recommended during pregnancy.
- Iron absorption: Very high curcumin intake can slightly reduce iron absorption (not an issue at food levels).
- Kidney stone risk (rare): Turmeric naturally contains oxalates, which can contribute to stone formation in sensitive individuals.
Our cookies use raw turmeric and ginger in balanced, whole-food amounts, making them gentle and suitable for daily enjoyment by most people.

How should I store or enjoy Tur-Immuno Bites?
- Refrigerated: Keeps fresh longer, stays soft and chewy.
- Frozen: Can be frozen up to 1 year; thaw naturally or warm before enjoying.
- Warm treat: Microwave 10–15 seconds or warm in oven 2–3 minutes for a fresh-baked aroma.
