Turmeric, scientifically known as Curcuma longa, is a perennial plant from the ginger family (Zingiberaceae). Its above-ground parts are recognised by large, spear-shaped leaves, but the most valuable part lies beneath the soil – the root, with its distinctive orange-yellow colour.
Originating from South Asia, it is most abundant in India, where it has been an important part of Ayurvedic tradition, symbolising purity and protection.
This remarkable spice has a history of use spanning over 4,000 years, being mentioned in ancient Sanskrit texts as well as in Arab and European records from the Middle Ages.
Thanks to its distinctive colour, it is also known as the “golden spice.” Best known as a key ingredient in curry powder, turmeric also shines on its own and is widely used as a natural colouring agent.
The benefits of turmeric are appreciated by everyone, especially athletes after workouts, those with slower digestion, women of childbearing age, and older adults.
