Latin name: Curcuma longa
Turmeric is a flowering plant, native to Asia. Ayurveda (a system of medicine with roots in ancient India) has treasured turmeric over literally thousands of years; conveniently, this widespread plant is also a widespread ingredient in Asian cooking.
In recent times, turmeric has also become one of the most sought-after nutritional supplements in North America.
Why should you include it in your diet?
A Google search for ‘turmeric benefits’ will yield a wild range of claims, some of them well-founded. To keep things down to earth and transparent, we choose to say that we (at Two Hills) consume turmeric regularly, because according to Health Canada:
- (Traditionally) used in Herbal Medicine as an anti-inflammatory to help relieve joint pain
