The
turmeric on shelves and in spice cabinets is made of the ground roots
of the plant. The bright yellow color of processed turmeric has inspired
many cultures to use it as a dye. Ground turmeric is also a major
ingredient in curry powder.
Capsules, teas, powders, and extracts are some of the turmeric products available commercially.
Curcumin is the active ingredient in turmeric, and it has powerful
