The Wonder Root

Have more Turmeric in your diet!

Turmeric is derived from the root of the Curcuma longa, which is part of the ginger family. Most people are familiar with the vivid orange powdered spice, but in its natural form, it looks more like ginger root, with a more golden yellow hue. Turmeric contains over 300 beneficial natural plant compounds and nutrients including calcium, fiber, beta-carotene, vitamin C, niacin, iron, potassium, magnesium, and other nutrients. But the secret behind turmeric’s amazing superpowers is an active polyphenol compound called Curcumin. Curcumin is what gives the spice a rich golden color and has been the subject of multiple studies in the health industry especially for its positive effects on fighting inflammation and cancer prevention.
