Rooted in India
No spice is more woven into Indian life. Turmeric colours the everyday dal, blesses brides at the haldi ceremony, and fills generations of home remedies. India grows most of the world’s turmeric, and uses more of it than anyone.
A little history
Grown in India for thousands of years and written into early Ayurvedic texts, turmeric travelled the old spice routes as a prized dye: saffron’s colour at a fraction of the price. Sangli, Erode and Nizamabad grew into its great market towns, and Erode turmeric now carries a Geographical Indication (GI) tag.
Golden milk and curcumin
Its colour comes from curcumin, widely studied for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Curcumin is better absorbed with black pepper, which is why Indian cooks so often use the two together, from curries to golden milk.
