Turmeric is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plant of the ginger family, Zingiberaceae. The dried powdered spice comes from the root (rhizome) portion of the plant Curcuma longa. Turmeric root has a very interesting taste and aroma. Its flavor is peppery, warm, and bitter while its fragrance is mild yet slightly reminiscent of orange and ginger. Turmeric is native to India and Southeast Asia. In addition to its culinary use, turmeric has remained a mainstay herb in botanical medicine, with medical usage going back thousands of years in the Ayurvedic tradition. Ayurvedic medicine is one of the world’s oldest holistic (whole-body) healing systems.
