Curcumin or curcuma longa

Curcuma longa, commonly known as turmeric, is a plant that belongs to the ginger family. The underground part of the plant, the rhizome, is dried and ground into a bright orange-yellow powder. This powder is widely used as a spice, especially in the cuisine of South Asian countries, such as India, where it is an important ingredient in curries and other dishes.

Curcuma longa is native to tropical regions, particularly South Asia. India is one of the largest producers of turmeric, where it has been cultivated and used in both food and cultural rituals for centuries. Today, curcuma longa is also grown in other tropical regions, including Southeast Asia and parts of China.

Curcuma longa is mostly used as a spice and food coloring. It is valued for its characteristic yellow color and sharp, earthy flavor. In addition to its culinary uses, turmeric can also be found in supplements, cosmetics, and personal care products.
