What it is

Turmeric is a spice made from the ground root of the Curcuma longa plant, which is native to Southeast Asia. The root is boiled, dried, and then ground into a fine powder. It has a warm, earthy flavor and a vibrant yellow-orange color.

Why it's used

Turmeric is primarily used as a coloring agent and flavoring in foods. Its bright hue makes it popular in curry powders, mustards, cheeses, and some beverages. It can also be used to add a warm, slightly bitter flavor to savory dishes and baked goods.

Health notes

Turmeric is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. The main active compound in turmeric, curcumin, has been studied for its potential health benefits, though research is ongoing and evidence is mixed. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated turmeric and its compounds. It is not considered a major health risk when consumed in typical food amounts.

Allergen info

Turmeric is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
