Turmeric (Curcuma longa)is also called turmeric or Indian saffron. The plant, which belongs to the ginger family, originates from India and Southeast Asia. There it has been revered as a sacred plant for over 5,000 years. In Europe turmeric was first known as kitchen herb. Turmeric colours food yellow.
The turmeric plant grows up to one meter high. The green reed-like leaves are less used for seasoning. Interesting is the rootstock, which is dried and ground to powder.
The most important ingredient of the turmeric plant is curcumin. It is also used as a food additive under the name E100. Here it serves as a colouring agent and flavour carrier. Curcumin is not readily soluble in water and is therefore only absorbed to a small extent by the body. Heating in oil increases the bioavailability of curcumin.
Curcumin is only one of the 4 different curcuminoids contained in the turmeric plant. Continuee are cyclocurcumin, bisdemethoxycurcumin and demethoxycurcumin. The mixture of these 4 curcuminoids is also called curcumin in its entirety. Diferuloylmethane is responsible for the yellowing of turmeric.

Turmeric is particularly suitable for seasoning vegetable dishes, meat, seafood and soups. Turmeric can also be prepared as tea. Indian cuisine would be inconceivable without turmeric, but turmeric is also enjoying increasing popularity in this country. Due to its natural colouring power, turmeric lends prepared dishes a sharp spice and an appetizing colour. Turmeric is also the basis of all curry mixtures and mustard products. The most important ingredient of turmeric is curcumin. It is responsible for the intense orange-yellow colour and is considered to be the best researched natural active ingredient in the world. The turmeric spice should be used sparingly as it can taste pungent to slightly bitter in large quantities.
