Turmeric is a genus of perennial herbaceous plants with yellow flowers and large leaves from the ginger family. Also known as Indian saffron. Its homeland is South Asia. Other names are turmeric, saffron root, yellow paint, turmeric, indian saffron. Turmeric is grown in tropical areas and is a multi-year plant whose root part is consumed and can reach 1 meter in length. Turmeric ripening takes 8-10 months. This plant, which is dormant between October and February, does not develop well under 20 degrees, so planting it early in the autumn or late spring, especially after extreme cold, helps the plant to develop better. In addition, the soil should be well drained and watered as it should be, because the plant originates in the tropics.
