Hello everyone! I am Turmeric, also known as Haldi in Hindi.

I come from the root of the turmeric plant. I am bright yellow-orange in colour with a rough texture. I taste slightly bitter and spicy.

I am very useful for health — I help improve energy levels and digestion, and I also reduce body pain.
