A plant in the ginger family native to Southeast Asia, turmeric is known for its vibrant golden color. As a spice, turmeric is incorporated into the daily life and cuisine of homes around the world and is responsible for the color of curried dishes and American mustard.

In addition to its use as a spice and pigment, turmeric has been used as an herbal medicine and food in India and Asia for centuries.

Curcuminoids are the active compounds found in turmeric. Turmeric’s benefits lie in the curcuminoid curcumin. Curcumin is well-known for its powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.
