Curcuma longa
Turmeric gives most curry powder its rich yellow color. With a rich, resiny base flavor, it combines classically with Indian lentil and vegetable dishes. Try it in rice cooked in coconut milk for a vibrant, full flavored side dish.
These days, folks are also calling turmeric a "super-spice" because it has so many health benefits.
