India  and its food heritage with Turmeric

At the highest level The Government is promoting Haldi for its magical properties. "A very futuristic spice, the turmeric continues to inspire, educate and alleviate. Hailed as a wonder spice, it owes its origin to the plant called curcuma longa. Turmeric is basically dried rhizome and is also known as the “country cousin” of ginger. It is popularly called the “Indian saffron”- not only because of its common usage, but also because of its rich and vibrant curcumin content, which lends it a distinctive yellow colour" as written in detail at https://indianculture.gov.in/food-and-culture/spices-herbs/turmeric-indian-saffron
