Turmeric has risen to become one of the most sought after spices. It ranks tens of millions for search results on the web, and is one of the most studied spices by modern science.
If you’ve never taken the time to know why it’s so popular—here is a bit of insight into why people are going crazy for turmeric.
Why Is Turmeric So Popular?
This yellow-orange root contains something that has fundamentally proven to be one of nature’s more powerful anti-inflammatory ingredients—curcumin.
Curcumin is a naturally occurring chemical in this bright rhizome and part of a group of natural phenols giving it the distinct yellow hue. It’s been seen to help reduce inflammation and contribute to antioxidant effects by reducing free radicals.
Simply put, working turmeric into your diet—especially in its raw state—may aid in reducing the negative symptoms associated with:
- Arthritis
- Crohn's Disease
- Ulcerative Colitis
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome
- Stomach Bloating
- Heartburn
- Liver Problems
- Stomach Ulcers
- Gallbladder Disorders
- High Cholesterol
- Worms
- Urinary Bladder Infection
- Kidney Problems
- Cramps and Other Issues
There’s no doubt this amazing spice has huge potential to help! It’s not hard to see why turmeric’s grown so popular and is the focus of so much study.
Here are some simple ways to add it to your diet.

Chiropractor suggested turmeric for wellness & bringing down inflammation. Always nice to use foods over meds where possible. Hooray for turmeric!
been incorporating organic turmeric in more and more of our daily dishes….try some powder sprinkled on salad for sure! a very healthful spice indeed
We use organic turmeric powder all the time, but I had never seen a picture of the fresh root before. Definitely does remind me of ginger root, just more orange. Very cool
