Turmeric, also known as Indian saffron, is native to Indonesia and Southern India, where has been harvested for over 5,000 years.  It is a revered member of the Ayurvedic pharmacopeia and was introduced into Europe in the 13th century by Arab traders.  Leading producers of turmeric include India, Indonesia, china, the Philippines, Taiwan, Haiti, and Jamaica.

Turmeric comes from the root of the Curcuma longa plant and has long been used in both Chinese and Indian medicine as a powerful anti inflammatory.  Turmeric provides relief in rheumatoid arthritis, skin problems, cystic fibrosis, IBD, such as Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis, and colon cancer.  Turmeric enhances liver function and inhibits cancer cell growth, metastases, and tumor growth. It helps prevent various types of cancer, childhood leukemia, cardiovascular disease, and neuro-degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s because of its ability to inhibit free radical damage of fats, oxidation of cholesterol, and from pollution.

With its deep yellow-orange pigment, called curcumin, is also used as a condiment in curries and textile dye.  Pure turmeric powder has the highest concentration of curcumin compared to other curry powder products.  Turmeric is also rich in manganese, iron, B6, fiber, copper, potassium. 

Research  (August 2006 issue of Clinical Gasteroenterology and Hepatology) shows that the phytonutrient curcumin in turmeric, along with the antioxidant quercetin in onions, help prevent colon cancer by reducing the size and number of precancerous lesions in the human intestinal tract.

As with all herbs and spices, buy organic turmeric to avoid irradiated product.  Store it in a cool, dark, dry place or refrigerate.
