  • About

Turmeric comes from the root of Curcuma longa, a leafy plant in the ginger family. India is the world’s primary producer of turmeric, although it is also grown in China and Indonesia. Turmeric is mildly aromatic with a scent reminiscent of orange or ginger, and has a pungent, bitter flavor.

It is often used in place of saffron to provide color, since it is a brilliant orangey yellow. Turmeric has been used medicinally throughout Asia to treat stomach and liver ailments, as well as headaches, due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
