Turmeric has been valued for its medicinal properties for a long time, attracting attention from both medical researchers and food enthusiasts. This is because it's the primary source of curcumin, a polyphenol with potential health benefits that are being studied and utilized globally in various forms. The part of the plant used medicinally is the rhizome, which is sold as a yellow powder and used in cooking for its flavor as well as in medicine to treat a range of diseases. Turmeric's active components include curcumin, a flavonoid, along with volatile oils such as tumerone, atlantone, and zingiberone.
