Over 4,000 years ago, it was used as a remedy for everything from injuries to uterine ailments in the Indo-Pak subcontinent—and is still used in herbal treatments from antiseptics to skin care.
It’s used as a culinary spice in South Asian cookery and indigenously known as haldi, which adds a sunshine-yellow colour and rich, earthy aroma to cuisine.
If you don’t fancy a daily curry, add it to mulligatawny soup or pop it into your smoothie. Alternatively, try a turmeric ginger latte with hot milk or substitute dairy for coconut milk or almond milk. Yum!
Despite its yellow colour, it’s even believed to naturally whiten teeth when applied and scrubbed off.
