Turmeric Plant

Turmeric Plant

This picture of a turmeric (Curcuma longa) plant was taken at the USF Botanical Gardens. Turmeric is commonly sold as a yellow-orange spice; the spice is in the form of a powder which is created by boiling the plant's rhizomes, then drying the rhizomes in a hot oven, after which they are ground into a powder.
