Native to Southeast Asia, Tumeric rhizome (root) is a popular spice cultivated throughout the tropics. It easily stains fabric and fingers with its golden yellow colour and is used as a dye in many cultures.
In India, Tumeric has a special place in Ayurveda and sacred rituals with recorded use as food and component in religious ceremonies spanning over 4,500 years. It's a popular colourant in food and a staple ingredient in Indian kitchens (especially for curries). Try adding to smoothies oor mixing into frothed milk or almond milkk with a little powered ginger root to make a delicious golden latte.
