Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a perennial herbaceous plant in the ginger family (Zingiberaceae), native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. The plant produces rhizomes that are harvested for use as a spice, ground into a deep orange-yellow powder with a warm, bitter flavor and earthy, mustard-like aroma commonly used in Asian cuisines, especially curries.
