Turmeric (Curcuma longa) also known as turmeric or turmeric, is a root widely cultivated in tropical climates. Its orange color comes from the presence of phenolic compounds called curcuminoids, namely curcumin.
 
This root has gained great prominence in Europe in recent years. It has anti-inflammatory properties, attenuates the development of intestinal gas, stimulates bile secretion, inhibits muscle spasms and protects liver health.
