Turmeric is a vibrant yellow spice derived from the root of the Curcuma longa plant. It's primarily known for its active compound, curcumin, which makes up about 2-8% of turmeric by weight. Curcumin is responsible for turmeric's anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and medicinal properties. Turmeric also contains essential oils, proteins, carbohydrates, fiber, and several vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, vitamin B6, iron, potassium, and manganese. Traditionally used in Indian and Southeast Asian cooking, turmeric's potential health benefits have made it popular as a supplement and in natural remedies for conditions like arthritis, heart disease, and digestive issues.
