Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plant of the ginger family, Zingiberaceae.[2] It is native to tropical South Asia and needs temperatures between 20°C and 30°C, and a considerable amount of annual rainfall to thrive (Materia Indica, 1826, Whitelaw Ainslie, M.D. M.R.A.S., via Google Books). Plants are gathered annually for their rhizomes, and re-seeded from some of those rhizomes in the following season.

The rhizomes are boiled for several hours and then dried in hot ovens, after which they are ground into a deep orange-yellow powder commonly used as a spice in curries and other South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine, for dyeing, and to impart color to mustard condiments. Its active ingredient is curcumin and it has a distinctly earthy, slightly bitter, slightly hot peppery flavor and a mustardy smell.

In medieval Europe, turmeric became known as Indian Saffron, since it was widely used as an alternative to the far more expensive saffron spice.

1. A Little Turmeric Can Lead to a Long Life
November 06, 2009

How much turmeric to use to reap the most health benefits is something many people have wondered about for years. The answer will differ depending on whether you are using it in its natural form or as part of a daily supplement. Due to its spicy flavor, in general a good rule of thumb is that less is more. Turmeric is used to give most Indian foods their flavor. It has a bitter, earthy taste and can be warm and peppery, making it hard to digest in large amounts. It also loses its flavor quickly, so the more faded it becomes the less likely it is to taste good or carry the maximum health b... (read more)
