OTurmeric (Curcuma longa) has been cultivated in India for over 4,000 years and has played a significant role in Ayurvedic medicine, traditional healing, and culinary practices. Ancient Indian texts like the Sushruta Samhita and the Atharva Veda (1500 BCE) highlight its therapeutic and spiritual significance. Historically, turmeric was valued as a natural dye, digestive aid, and antibacterial agent.
Through trade routes, turmeric spread from India to China (700 CE), East Africa (800 CE), and the Middle East (1200 CE). During the Age of Exploration, its powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties brought it to Europe, where it gained global recognition.
Today, India remains the world's largest producer and exporter of turmeric, supplying over 80% of the global demand.
