Turmeric powder is a bright yellow spice made from the dried and ground roots of the Curcuma longa plant. It is widely used in cooking, especially in Indian and Southeast Asian cuisines, for its warm, earthy flavor and vibrant color. Beyond its culinary uses, turmeric is valued for its powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, primarily due to the active compound curcumin. Traditionally used in Ayurvedic and herbal medicine, turmeric is believed to support digestion, improve skin health, and promote joint and cardiovascular health. It is also gaining popularity as a natural supplement for overall wellness.
