Note
A plural that only makes sense when turmeric is counted as kinds rather than measured as stuff. The plant, the ground spice and the yellow dye are usually treated as mass nouns: a teaspoon of turmeric, not a turmeric. The plural appears when varieties, sources or grades are being compared, as with several turmerics in a market or a lab. A single jar is still just turmeric.
