Turmeric is the queen spice on the intense island, used in most Réunionese dishes, and it holds no secrets for France-May. In 2015, she decided to take over the family farm in Plaine des Grègues, the "capital of Pei saffron", located in the Hauts de Saint-Joseph. On her estate, she contributes to this traditional know-how by growing and processing her turmeric by hand, respecting natural resources and the environment. Don't hesitate to try her homemade marmalade, as well as her syrup, a spicy delight to be enjoyed at any time of the day... A great way to see life in yellow.

Turmeric marmalade can be used on buttered toast, in yoghurt, on pancakes, with vanilla ice cream or as an infusion.

À la rencontre de...

At the gateway to Sud Sauvage, in Plaine des Grègues, in the upper reaches of the commune of Saint Joseph, France-May Lebreton grows turmeric in the traditional way. She transforms it by hand into marmalade, syrup or powder..

"I produce turmeric by hand. I've had a hand-held machine for a long time, and I transform it into marmalade, syrup and powder. It's ideal for cavities and for self-care.

My husband and I used to work as a family. He had a genetic disease and I thought I'd make a living out of it. So I became a farmer, and that's the best thing for me! Then, little by little, I started processing turmeric.

My products are stamped National Park spiritand for me, that's a beautiful thing! I love green, it's the color of the forest. Plus, it's a plus for my work to be Esprit parc national.

People come to me from metropolitan France, and they're already familiar with my products Esprit parc national. They come to see my products, and then, when they leave my home, they tell me they see that I do my work with my heart; that's what we want, trust."
