[ABOUT]
Turmeric is a bright yellow-orange spice made from the root of the Curcuma longa plant, which belongs to the ginger family. It has been used for thousands of years in traditional Indian and Chinese medicine, as well as in cooking, particularly in South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines. The primary active compound in turmeric is curcumin, which is responsible for most of its health benefits. Curcumin has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, making turmeric popular as a supplement for conditions like arthritis, digestive issues, and even heart health. However, curcumin is poorly absorbed by the body, so its often taken with black pepper (containing piperine) to enhance absorption.
