The yellow color in many Indian, Thai, and Asian dishes and spice blends is often a result of the turmeric spice. It is also known as “Indian saffron” since the spice is native to India and imparts the same color as saffron. Both fresh turmeric root and dried, ground turmeric powder are used in cooking. In addition to being used across Asia, it is also found in Middle Eastern cooking. Turmeric roots and powder are available year-round.
