Turmeric powder is a bright yellow spice derived from the root of the Curcuma longa plant, commonly used in cooking, particularly in South Asian, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian cuisines. It is known for its distinctive earthy, bitter flavor and is a key ingredient in curry powders and mustards. Beyond its culinary uses, turmeric powder has been prized for centuries in traditional medicine, especially in Ayurvedic practices, due to its active compound curcumin, which boasts anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and potential anticancer properties.
