Turmeric
Turmeric is a bright yellow-orange spice that comes from the roots of the turmeric plant. It is widely used in cooking to add flavour and colour to dishes, especially in curries and stews. Turmeric has a warm, slightly peppery taste and a mild fragrance, making it a popular choice in many dishes around the world.
To make turmeric powder, the roots of the turmeric plant are harvested, boiled, dried, and then ground into a fine powder. This powder can then be used in cooking to add a unique flavour and vibrant colour to dishes. Turmeric can also be used in its fresh form by grating or slicing the roots.
Turmeric often appears on food labels for its distinctive flavour and colour properties. It is commonly found in curry powders, mustard, sauces, and even in baked goods like cakes and biscuits. Apart from its culinary uses, turmeric is also known for its potential health benefits due to its active compound called curcumin, which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
