Organic Turmeric

Ingredients: Turmeric. Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a perennial rhizomatous herbaceous plant of the genus Curcuma of the family Zingiberaceae native to India and Malaysia. The term "Curcuma" comes from the Spanish which itself borrowed it from the Arabic kurkum, which originally designated saffron. It appeared in the French language in 1559. Turmeric is used both as a spice and as a coloring agent in food preparations. It is also one of the main constituents of curry (Curry), a mixture of spices particularly used in Indian cuisine. In addition to its culinary qualities offering a saffron, peppery and sweet fragrance, Turmeric has been recognized for millennia for its Medicinal virtues. Scientific research has shown that curcumin, the main active ingredient in turmeric, has remarkable anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties if combined with piperine, the active ingredient in pepper.
