Turmeric is our superfood of choice for Javazen Pumpkin Spice.
What is Turmeric?
Turmeric is a tall, yellowish-orange, tubular branched plant in the ginger family. It is widely cultivated in the rainforests of Southern Asia and is consumed throughout the world every single day. It is revered for its yellow dyeing capabilities, which is especially used to produce mustard, as well as for its medicinal properties. These attributes are present due to curcumin, an integral ingredient of turmeric. Here, at Javazen, we believe turmeric’s nutritious properties and delicious taste all contribute to our motto of maintaining balanced energy and living life to its fullest.
What are some of the health benefits of Turmeric?
Turmeric has been known for centuries to promote optimal health and well-being. In fact, on top of providing the body and mind with an array of vitamins, minerals and other compounds such as amino acids and antioxidants essential for good health, turmeric is arguably the best herb for fighting against pathogens and a variety of infectious diseases and illnesses. Some people prefer ingesting turmeric instead of taking clinically prescribed medication for its variety of nutrients and number of antioxidants.
Because of turmeric’s delicious, spicy flavor and variety of health benefits, we have incorporated this herb into our Pumpkin Spice blend.
