Turmeric, also known as Haldi, is an indispensable culinary ingredient in India.
Turmeric comes from the root of the Curcuma longa plant. It has a tough brown skin and deep orange flesh. This spice has a delightful taste and aroma. It has mild fragrance that smells like a mixture of oranges and ginger, to which it is related, and its flavor is peppery and warm.
Turmeric has long been used as a powerful anti-inflammatory in both Chinese and Indian medicine. For years, turmeric has been called Indian Saffron due to its deep yellow-orange color, which is similar to that of the prized saffron. It has been historically used as a condiment, healing remedy and textile dye. Studies have shown that curcumin, the primary pharmacological component in turmeric, is responsible for the bright orange hue as well as the several therapeutic effects of this spice.
Turmeric has been harvested for more than 5,000 years and is known to be native to Indonesia and southern India. Today, India remains one of the most prominent producers of turmeric, along with Indonesia, Philippines, China, Taiwan, Jamaica, and Haiti.
