Question: what is the difference between turmeric and organic turmeric?
Answer: Curcumin is a naturally-occurring chemical compound found in the spice turmeric. Turmeric, on the other hand, is the root of a plant which is scientifically known as Curcuma Longa and that's probably where curcumin gets its name from. ... After the turmeric root is harvested it is cleaned, cured and then dried.
