Turmeric |
Turmeric, being one of the kitchen staples, is a wonderful spice that is useful in ensuring optimal health. The medicinal properties of turmeric roots have been around for several millennia. Thus, many people take its effectiveness at heart. Several studies about turmeric were also conducted by the scientific community to ensure that it is, indeed, a beneficial herbal medicine for human use.
Though turmeric primarily began in India as a primary ingredient for the Ayurvedic practice, its value and worth traveled far and wide over the years. Currently, we can see turmeric sold in stores and marketplaces all over the world.
The longest record of the use of turmeric dates back to the Verdic culture of India 4000 years ago. It has been used primarily as a culinary spice and also has some profound religious significance. According to Sanskrit records, turmeric has been used as a medicine in Southeast Asia for a long time. The Ayurvedic Compendium dating back to 250 BC even stated that a turmeric ointment relieves food poisoning. It spread across Asia and probably reached China around 700 AD. It also reached other continents such as East Africa by 800 AD and West Africa by 1200 AD.

In the 13th century, Europe had a taste of turmeric. When Marco Polo was trading in the Silk Road in 1280, he wrote down about this spice and compared it to saffron. By the 18th century, turmeric became more popular all over the world. It spread to other tropical places, particularly in Jamaica.
On the other hand, the discovery of turmeric’s curcumin dates back two centuries ago. The “yellow coloring matter” was isolated by Vogel and Pelletier, for which they named it curcumin. This yellow chemical provides the spice all its amazing medicinal and culinary qualities. Vogel Jr. was notably known to have gathered a pure preparation of curcumin but he was not able to share the formula with the scientific community. It was not until 1910 when the exact chemical structure of curcumin was known.

This root vegetable is often grown in Asian countries, particularly in India, China, and Vietnam. It is also widely cultivated in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh.

Plant the rhizomes 4 inches deep in the soil. When planting several rhizomes, keep the plants 3 to 4 ft apart to allow enough room for each growth. The rhizomes should be planted with the sprouted parts facing up.

To do this, start 8 to 10 weeks before the average last frost date that your place has. Put individual rhizomes horizontally in a seed-starter tray. Make sure that this tray is well-draining. Cover the rhizomes with 2 inches of medium and keep the tray warm at 80 to 85°F.

Transplant the sprouted rhizomes once the last frost passed. Water the turmeric an inch of water per week when there is no rain. Do not overwater since the roots may rot. Also, maintain a pH level of 4.5 to 7.5.
Turmeric can be planted with beans, peas, cilantro, and cardamom. Make sure to keep the weeds out so that the turmeric plant will have enough airflow.

This usually happens around 7 to 10 months after planting. When you see the stem and leaves turning brown, gently dig up the plant. Be careful when digging since you do not want to damage the rhizomes. Cut the foliage an inch above the roots. Wash the roots thoroughly and this will be the fresh turmeric that you can use for various culinary and medicinal applications.
The harvested turmeric can last for up to 6 months in a fridge when placed in an airtight bag. For it to last longer, you can put it inside the freezer. But make sure that the skin is thoroughly air dried before storing them.
Turmeric is one of the underrated kitchen spices that holds many nutritional benefits. Aside from being a culinary addition to various dishes, turmeric contains an antioxidant called curcumin. Curcumin has many beneficial effects on health.
Most people use the rhizome or root part of turmeric. It is where curcumin can be found the most. The rhizome is also used in powder form most of the time. People add turmeric powder to their cooking since it is a basic ingredient in curry powders. It can also be found in drinks and flavored dairy products. Turmeric root is also used in various applications such as skin ointments and poultice, and face masks, among others. Others also use turmeric leaves since they are edible.
