Turmeric root is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the Zingiberaceae family. Native to Southeast Asia, particularly India and Indonesia, turmeric thrives in warm, humid climates and is cultivated primarily for its rhizome, which is the underground stem of the plant. The root is characterized by its vibrant golden-yellow color and distinct earthy, slightly bitter flavor.

In culinary uses, turmeric root is a staple in many Asian cuisines, often used to add flavor and color to dishes such as curries, rice, and soups. It can be used fresh, dried, or ground into powder, and is also popular in beverages like golden milk and herbal teas. In herbal medicine, turmeric root has been traditionally valued for its potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, attributed mainly to its active compound, curcumin.*

Historically, turmeric has been utilized in Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine for its reputed benefits in promoting digestive health and supporting overall wellness. *
