Turmeric, or “Indian saffron,” is a gift from Nature and has numerous health benefits. It contains curcumin, a substance with powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties and is used in Ayurveda medicine in India. Haldi has been used for thousands of years to treat stomach ailments, ulcers, liver problems, fever and as an antiseptic for wounds and sore throats.
Turmeric Pickle
Haldi comes from a root that looks a lot like ginger since they are from the same family. Although it is easiest to buy it in powdered form, you can find the fresh root mostly during winters. Turmeric is an essential ingredient in Indian curries that gives curry its yellow colour, with its taste described as bitter and peppery. It has been used in India for thousands of years as a spice and medicinal herb.
