Scientists are discovering the benefits of many plants and spices that can enhance our health in a myriad of ways. One such superfood is turmeric.

What is Turmeric?

Turmeric is an ancient spice that is native to Southeast Asia, especially India and China. It is also grown in Western Africa and a few other countries in Southeast Asia. It is a rhizome and a perennially flowering plant that belongs to the ginger family. This plant requires high amounts of rainfall and a temperature of 20 to 30 degrees C to thrive.

History of Turmeric

Turmeric has been used in the Indian subcontinent for many centuries. It is an important ingredient in the Indian medicine systems of Ayurveda and Siddha.

Little wonder then that India is the largest producer, consumer, and exporter of turmeric. A city called Erode in the state of Tamilnadu is the world's largest producer of turmeric and this is why it is often called the "Yellow city."
