The properties of turmeric
Turmeric is a herbaceous plant belonging to the ginger family. It originates from Asian countries such as India and Vietnam. In this article, we will list some of the properties of turmeric.
It has been used for countless years in traditional medicine, thanks to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and digestive properties.
Turmeric is characterized by its spicy, slightly bitter flavor and yellow-orange color. Curry is obtained from turmeric; when this root is boiled and subsequently ground, this widely used spice is produced. The medicinal properties of turmeric, the source of curcumin, have been known for thousands of years, but research into them is much more recent.
It has a high content of B-group vitamins, vitamins C, E and K. It is also rich in polyphenols, which have extensive antioxidant properties, as well as various minerals such as potassium, iron, magnesium and zinc.
