Turmeric

Introduction & History

Turmeric, often called the “golden spice”, has been used in India for thousands of years as a condiment, dye, and medicine. Known for its bright yellow color and rich aroma, turmeric is a key ingredient in culinary traditions worldwide. It is also valued for its healing properties, being a natural antiseptic, blood purifier, and digestive aid.

Daily consumption of turmeric provides essential nutrients including iron, potassium, manganese, and vitamin C, making it not only a culinary favorite but also a health booster. Beyond the kitchen, turmeric has long been used in textile dyeing due to its natural coloring compound, curcumin.
