Turmeric is a spice that is best known as an additive to curry. Also known as “Indian Saffron”, this spice which comes from the root of the Curcuma Longa plant has a deep yellow color and has been used to dye fabrics. It is also added to certain mustards in order to give them that bright yellow color. As a spice, turmeric is similar to ginger crossed with oranges having a peppery and slightly bitter flavor and has been used as a food additive for many centuries.

Health Properties

Curcumin, the pigment that gives the spice its yellow color is thought to be primarily responsible for Turmeric’s potent anti-inflammatory ability. It is believed that this component of turmeric has the ability to inhibit certain inflammatory agents including NF kappa-B providing relief for chronic diseases in which exaggerated inflammatory reaction play a part including arthritis and inflammatory bowel syndrome.
