Most people only know turmeric as part of curry. Curry is not actually a spice, but a composition of different spices. Turmeric is the spice that provides the yellow color. In addition, it is the herb whose stains are very difficult to remove.
Turmeric contains, among other things, bitter substances. You also taste that if you would eat turmeric like this. It may not sound so good, but it is a necessary substance to lose weight.
