it is also called Indian saffron or poor saffron.

Its root resembles ginger, its color and smell resemble saffron ...
Yet it is neither, it is turmeric. Formerly called turmeric
(name he kept in English), from the Latin "terra merita" (interesting land),
its current name is derived from the Arabic word for saffron: "kourkoum".
Turmeric longa belongs to the Zingiberaceae family
It is a plant of about one meter, with large green leaves, native to Asia.
A bit of history Used in India for over two thousand years,
it is the language that gives us the keys to the history of turmeric.
As the ginger was brought back west from the Malay Archipelago,
turmeric traveled east early enough to accompany
the settlement of the Pacific Islands: we find its original name -lena- in the Hawaiian word
used to denote the color yellow.
Turmeric did not stand out much in the West
because its scent was not as intense as saffron.
It is thus found under many names such as "false saffron" or "Indian saffron".
Which is a big mistake, because in India saffron
and turmeric have long been distinguished and used in very different ways.
