Turmeric powder is a bright yellow spice made by grinding dried turmeric rhizomes, commonly used in cooking, cosmetics, and traditional medicine. Known for its earthy, slightly bitter flavor with a hint of peppery warmth, it is a key ingredient in many dishes, especially in Indian, Southeast Asian, and Middle Eastern cuisines. Turmeric powder is rich in curcumin, a bioactive compound with powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, making it widely used for its potential health benefits. It is also used in natural remedies, skincare products, and as a natural dye, giving food, textiles, and cosmetics a vibrant yellow hue.
