Turmeric (Curcuma longa) - 8oz pwd (ORGANIC)
Turmeric root has a delicious, earthy and woody flavor. The use of turmeric as a colouring and flavoring agent in food is ancient. In medieval Europe, turmeric was known as Indian Saffron. India is the worlds leading producer, and consumer, of turmeric. The well-known varieties 'Alleppey finger' (from Kerala), 'Madras Finger' and 'Erode turmeric' (from Tamil Nadu). Turmeric is a necessary ingredient of curry powder. It is used extensively in Indian dishes, including lentil, rice, fish and meat dishes, and in Southeast Asian cooking. Turmeric is routinely added to mustard blends and relishes. It also is used in place of saffron to provide color and flavor, though it lacks saffron's aroma. Turmeric is an unusually healthful e. Curin, turmeric's active consuent, protects against free radical damage because it is a strong antioxidant. It also reduces inflammation by lowering histamine levels and possibly by increasing production of natural cortisone by the adrenal glands. It also protects the liver from a number of toxic compounds. It also has been shown to prevent platelets from clumping together, which in turn improves circulation and helps protect against atherosclerosis. There also numerous animal studies showing a cancer-preventing action of curin. This may be due to its antioxidant activity in the body. Turmeric also acts as a mild antacid.
