Collection: Turmeric

Turmeric is a colourful spice that has been used in foods and for its medicinal properties for thousands of years, and it is derived from grinding up the dried root (rhizome) of the turmeric.

Turmeric is quite distinct in its colour, flavour and it is very well known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects. This is primarily due to one of its prominent active ingredients, curcumin. Just like vitamin C is to oranges, curcumin is to turmeric.

Curcumin is a polyphenol and in the plant world, it is the nutrient that is responsible for protecting turmeric from solar radiation, fungal disease and other kinds of damage. In the human body, curcumin has been shown to have a range of incredible medicinal benefits, one of which is its anti-inflammatory properties.
