ORIGIN OF TURMERIC

Turmeric is a species obtained from the rhizomes of Curcuma Longa, a member of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae). Rhizomes are underground horizontal stems that send both roots down and shoots up.

It is a plant of Asian origin, considered a magical plant given its organoleptic characteristics and its undoubted therapeutic and protective properties, especially at the liver and skin levels (4, 5). It is mainly grown in China, India, Indonesia, Jamaica and Peru. In the high forest it grows more profusely due to the fertility of the soil, the rhizomes are larger and have a higher content of turmeric acid. In the lowland forest it grows on clayey-loamy soils (beaches) that were fertilized during the river’s rising stage, leaving the land enabled during the low water.
