Curcuma longa, commonly known as Turmeric, is a perennial herbaceous plant widely cultivated in India and other tropical regions. The rhizomes are the principal commercially used plant part and are known for their characteristic yellow-orange color. Turmeric naturally contains curcuminoids, including curcumin, along with volatile oils and other botanical constituents.
Turmeric rhizomes are harvested after the plant reaches suitable maturity and the foliage begins to dry naturally. The rhizomes are cleaned thoroughly to remove soil and foreign matter and may undergo curing or boiling followed by drying. Once properly dried, they can be supplied as whole dried rhizomes, sliced rhizomes, turmeric powder, or standardized botanical extract, according to buyer requirements.
