The Power of Plants

Turmeric, renowned for its vibrant yellow-orange hue that enhances curries worldwide, originates from Southeast Asia and is cultivated extensively across Asia. Its robust rhizome, dried and ground into a powder, has multifaceted applications dating back millennia. In Hindu rituals, turmeric holds sacred significance, boasting a pungent, slightly spicy flavour. Beyond culinary use, it serves as a dye for textiles and food, alongside its recognized therapeutic value. Indian and Chinese medicinal traditions advocate its efficacy in addressing digestive and inflammatory ailments, while contemporary research underscores its antioxidant properties.
