What it is

Organic turmeric root is a bright yellow-orange spice derived from the rhizome of the *Curcuma longa* plant, native to Southeast Asia. It is typically dried and ground into a powder for culinary use. Turmeric is a key ingredient in many curry powders and is used to impart color and flavor.

Why it's used

Turmeric is primarily used as a natural yellow colorant and flavoring agent in a variety of foods, including soups, sauces, processed cheeses, and baked goods. It is also used in spice blends and marinades. Its earthy, slightly bitter taste adds depth to savory dishes.

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 antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. While research is ongoing, some studies suggest potential health benefits, but more robust clinical trials are needed. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated turmeric and its extracts, with no specific concerns raised at typical dietary intake levels.

Allergen info

Turmeric is not one of the nine FDA major food allergens. It is also naturally gluten-free.
