Turmeric

About Turmeric

Curcumin, its active compound, has been studied in over 12,000 peer-reviewed papers and shows anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and potential anti-cancer properties. It has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for 4,000+ years. India produces 80% of the worlds turmeric and consumes 80% of that domestically. It stains everything permanently - Buddhist monks used it to dye robes. Black pepper increases curcumin absorption by 2,000%. It is a close relative of ginger. The root is the used part, typically dried and ground. Golden milk (turmeric latte) became a global wellness trend. It is a natural indicator that changes color in acidic or alkaline conditions.
