When ground into a fine powder, the turmeric finger is one of the main components in most cuisines, adding flavour and colour. The most pure form of turmeric is utilised in the production of foods, medications, and dyes. The farmers who raise the crop naturally and organically are the source of the product.

The ginger family includes turmeric, or Curcuma Longa, a lovely perennial with enormous lily-like leaves and spikes of clustered flowers. Turmeric is often propagated from "figures," or short portions of rhizomes from the previous year's growth, and is most frequently dried and crushed. It is a vigorous perennial that grows to a height of 1 m (3 ft).
