Native to the Orient, the turmeric plant is a root related to ginger. The root looks like ginger except it is bright orange inside. It is most commonly used in the dried, powdered form where it imparts a sharp, slightly bitter flavor and a bright orange color. It is used in India cooking to add color to stews and various dishes more than for flavor. It is the substance used to make prepared mustard "yellow". The root is widely cultivated in India and the Caribbean.
