Turmeric (Curcuma longa)

Other names: Curcuma longus, Indian saffron

Harm score: 1 (Natural substances)


Turmeric, scientifically known as Curcuma longa and sometimes called turmeric or Indian saffron, is an herb with strong medicinal properties that is mainly cultivated in South Asia. Its bright yellow colour and strong aromatic scent make it an important element in culinary and cosmetic applications.

Turmeric is one of the main ingredients of the traditional Indian spice known as curry. In addition, it is often added to rice, sauces and soups for its distinctive flavour and colour. In recent years, however, turmeric has begun to play an increasingly important role in other fields. In the pharmaceutical industry, for example, it is used for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, and the by-products of these processes are curcuminoids, which are used as natural colours in food and cosmetics or as antioxidants in food supplements. Turmeric is also becoming increasingly popular in cosmetics, where it is used as a natural colouring agent in shampoos, creams and make-up. Whether for culinary, cosmetic or pharmaceutical use, turmeric is increasingly becoming an integral part of our daily lives.
