Kurkuma, also known as turmeric, is a vibrant yellow-orange spice derived from the root of the Curcuma longa plant, native to South Asia. It’s a staple in Indian, Southeast Asian, and Middle Eastern cuisines, often used in curries, rice dishes, and soups for its warm, earthy flavor. Turmeric contains curcumin, a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound linked to potential benefits like improved digestion, joint health, and heart health. It also provides small amounts of manganese, iron, and potassium. While considered safe in culinary doses, excessive consumption could cause digestive upset or interact with certain medications. Turmeric's bold color and health-promoting properties make it a popular choice for both traditional and modern dishes.
