Turmeric is a bright yellow spice derived from the root of Curcuma longa. It contains curcumin, a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound. Turmeric supports immunity, reduces inflammation, improves digestion, and promotes heart and brain health. It is commonly used in curries, teas, soups, and sauces.
