What it is
Turmeric is a spice derived from the root of the *Curcuma longa* plant. "Organic fermented turmeric" indicates that the turmeric has undergone fermentation, a process using microorganisms like bacteria or yeast to break down compounds. This process may alter its flavor and potentially its bioavailability.
Why it's used
Manufacturers may add turmeric for its vibrant yellow-orange color and its earthy, slightly bitter flavor. It is often found in beverages, supplements, and some savory dishes. Fermentation can also be used to enhance its perceived health benefits.
Health notes
Turmeric, and its active compound curcumin, has been studied for various health effects. The FDA lists turmeric as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for use as a food coloring and flavoring. While many studies explore potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, the evidence is mixed and more research is needed. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated turmeric and its extracts.
Allergen info
Turmeric is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
