What it is
Flavors are complex mixtures that add taste to foods. They can be derived from natural sources like plants and animals, or created synthetically. Turmeric is a spice derived from the root of the Curcuma longa plant, known for its vibrant yellow color and earthy flavor.
Why it's used
Flavors are used to enhance or impart specific tastes to a wide range of food products. Turmeric is primarily used as a natural coloring agent and for its distinct flavor profile in savory dishes, baked goods, and beverages.
Health notes
Both natural and artificial flavors are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for their intended use. Turmeric, consumed in typical dietary amounts, is considered safe and is recognized for its antioxidant properties. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many flavor compounds and turmeric, generally finding them safe. Evidence on the health benefits of turmeric is ongoing, with some studies suggesting anti-inflammatory effects, but more research is needed.
Allergen info
Flavors are typically not major allergens. Turmeric is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens and does not contain gluten.
