Description
Turmeric powder is a vibrant yellow spice derived from the rhizome of the Curcuma longa plant, native to Southeast Asia. Widely used in cooking, especially in Indian cuisine, it adds both color and flavor to dishes. Turmeric’s distinct earthy aroma and slightly bitter taste make it a versatile ingredient in savory dishes, sauces, marinades, and curries. Beyond culinary uses, turmeric is renowned for its potential health benefits, thanks to its active compound, curcumin, which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It has been used in traditional medicine for centuries and is believed to aid digestion, boost immunity, and promote overall well-being.
