PF Turmeric (1/4 lb)

Turmeric is a bright yellow spice with a warm, bitter flavor and an earthy aroma. The rhizomes are usually 1–3 inches long. Turmeric is a key ingredient in curry powder and is also used as a food dye in many Indian dishes, as well as in sauces, confectionery, and processed foods in Europe and the United States. Turmeric is also used in traditional Asian medicine to treat a variety of conditions. The main active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin, a substance that gives turmeric its yellow color and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
