Turmeric
(Curcuma longa) is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plant of the
ginger family, Zingiberaceae which is native to tropical South Asia.
It is also known as kunyit (Indonesian and Malay)
or haldi or pasupu in some Asian countries. Turmeric has a peppery,
warm and bitter flavor and a mild fragrance slightly reminiscent
of orange and ginger. Turmeric comes from the root of the Curcuma
longa plant and has a tough brown skin and a deep orange flesh.
Turmeric
has long been used as a powerful anti-inflammatory in both the Chinese
and Indian systems of medicine.In medieval Europe,
turmeric became known as Indian Saffron, since it is widely used
as an alternative to far more expensive saffron spice.
