A golden spice with hordes of benefits! Wow, that sounds like a golden treat! That is turmeric for you; a bright orange-yellow spice, a must in Indian cooking. Turmeric has a peppery warm taste and a mustard-like aroma; it is widely used to color or flavor recipes, curry powders, beverages, and also cosmetics.  

Turmeric is rich in a highly beneficial naturally occurring compound, curcumin, known to fight cancer, Alzheimer’s, and heart disease. This compound imparts a bright yellow color to turmeric and is also responsible for its healing properties.

The turmeric plant belongs to the ginger family and grows in tropical Southeast Asia. While the eastern world has long been using this special spice, it is quite new in the west. 

Also known as “Indian Saffron”, Turmeric has been used for nearly 4000 years in India. However, in the last two decades, turmeric has gained extensive recognition in modern medicine.

Benefits of turmeric

• A powerful antioxidant- Curcumin is a potent antioxidant. It protects our body from free radicals that are known to cause cancer and heart disease.

• Known for its anti-inflammatory properties- Uncontrolled inflammatory conditions cause many disorders such as arthritis, obesity, heart disease, and many more. Curcumin present in turmeric has great anti-inflammatory properties. 

• Good for digestion- Turmeric boosts bile production in the liver. It also encourages the gallbladder to release more bile into the digestive tract. Bile breaks down fats and makes them easily digestible.

• Boosts immunity- Turmeric helps the body fight infections because of its anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral properties. It is a common sight in Indian households of people drinking a glass of warm milk with a pinch of turmeric powder to fight off infections and improve immunity.
