Turmeric

Turmeric, or Curcuma longa, is a popular spice and medicinal plant from the ginger family that is native to Southwest India and thrives in subtropical/tropical regions. It has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese and Indian medicine for its numerous health benefits. Studies suggest that turmeric, with its active ingredient curcumin, can help prevent and fight brain and heart diseases, as well as cancer, due to its anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and antioxidant properties. Curcumin is also used as a natural food coloring agent (E 100).

Description

The turmeric roots are harvested during winter after the plants have died down, then dried for a few days to several weeks. Commercial processing involves curing the rhizomes to gelatinize the starch, produce an attractive product, and remove the raw earthy odor, diffuse color evenly, and remove wrinkles, making them suitable for polishing. To achieve this, the rhizomes are boiled in water for 45 minutes to an hour. In India, commercial operations use cross-flow hot air at a maximum temperature of 60°C or sun-dry the turmeric during the middle of summer, which takes around 10 to 15 days.
