Why Turmeric is Called “The Golden Spice”
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) has been treasured in India and Asia for over 4,000 years. It’s a cornerstone of Ayurvedic medicine, a vibrant natural dye, and an essential kitchen spice. Its golden-yellow hue comes from curcumin—a compound studied for powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
