Turmeric is one of the most popular spices worldwide, known for its characteristic bright yellow color, which is due to the plant Curcuma longa. It is traditionally used in Indian (Ayurveda) and Chinese practices for stimulating the body and promoting well-being. Curcumin is its main bioactive ingredient, while it also contains volatile oils, vitamins (such as vitamin C), minerals (such as iron and manganese), and dietary fiber.

In addition to herbal supplements, we can also find turmeric in other forms, such as powder, adding it to soups, drinks, or smoothies, or making the viral golden milk, which is milk with 3 basic ingredients: turmeric, honey, and pepper.
