Turmeric

Turmeric, scientifically known as Curcuma longa, is a golden-yellow spice native to the Indian subcontinent. Commonly referred to as Haldi in India, turmeric is renowned for its vibrant color, distinct flavor, and significant health benefits. Sourced from India, the world’s largest producer of turmeric, this rhizomatous plant is widely used in culinary, medicinal, and cosmetic applications. The compound curcumin, present in turmeric, is the key active ingredient that imparts both its color and powerful medicinal properties.
