So, i'm munching on a piece of Orbit spearmint gum, and I think to myself, \"hey, what's this unusual flavor I'm tasting ?\" It wasn't just spearmint, it was something a little exotic, a little unusual, but something I know I've had before - and very distinct. Then it hit me... tumeric. Bitter, astringent, somewhat minty, a primary ingredient in curry, tumeric makes curries yellow, too.<\/p>\n
I assume it's a trick of two or more other flavors combining to resemble tumeric, because I couldn't find many references to tumeric being used as a flavoring in candy, though it's widely used as a coloring (probably not in this white gum). The only tumeric-flavored candy I found was in this blog post<\/a> about a brown sugar and turmeric candy called \"Ucon Kuro Tou\".<\/p>\n Maybe I'm imagining things.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So, i'm munching on a piece of Orbit spearmint gum, and I think to myself, \"hey, what's this unusual flavor I'm tasting ?\" It wasn't just spearmint, it was something a little exotic, a little unusual, but something I know I've had before - and very distinct.
