Turmeric is a spice from the Curcuma longa plant, prized for its vibrant yellow color and warm, bitter taste. It is a key ingredient in many South Asian cuisines, most famously in curry powder, and is also used as a natural coloring agent in foods like mustard, butter, and cheese. Additionally, it is used in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory properties, mainly due to its compound curcumin.
