What it is

Turmeric is a bright yellow spice made from the root of the *Curcuma longa* plant, which is native to Southeast Asia. The root is cleaned, dried, and ground into a powder. It has a warm, slightly bitter, earthy flavor.

Why it's used

Turmeric is primarily used as a coloring agent and flavoring in foods, giving dishes a vibrant yellow-orange hue. It's commonly found in curries, mustards, cheeses, and soups. It can also be used in marinades and seasoning blends.

Health notes

Turmeric is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. The main active compound, curcumin, has been studied for its potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. However, research is ongoing, and evidence is mixed regarding significant health benefits at typical dietary intake levels. 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 is also gluten-free.
