What it is

Turmeric is a spice derived from the root of the *Curcuma longa* plant, a member of the ginger family. The fresh root is typically boiled, dried, and ground into a fine powder. It has a warm, earthy, and slightly bitter flavor and a vibrant yellow-orange color.

Why it's used

Turmeric powder is primarily used as a natural coloring agent and flavoring in a wide variety of foods. It imparts a rich yellow hue to dishes like curries, mustards, and rice. It is also found in spice blends, soups, and some baked goods.

Health notes

Turmeric is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. The active compound, curcumin, has been studied for its potential health benefits, particularly its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, research is ongoing, and evidence is mixed regarding significant health effects 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 does not contain gluten.
