Turmeric or Curcumin (Natural Yellow/Orange Coloring)

Turmeric or Curcumin (Natural Yellow/Orange Coloring) is a bright yellow-orange spice made from the dried, ground root of the turmeric plant and is widely used in South Asian, Middle Eastern and Southeast Asian cooking for curries, rice dishes, marinades and pickles; it is known for its warm, slightly bitter flavor and vivid color. While typically used in small amounts, per 100g 22.7g of fiber is notable — turmeric also contributes minerals and small amounts of protein and fat. It is prized for bioactive compounds such as curcumin, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, so it’s valued more for these protective phytochemicals than as a primary macronutrient source.
