Halad

Scientific Name:

Curcuma longa

Halad (commonly known as turmeric) is widely used as a spice and coloring agent, known for its bright yellow color and medicinal properties. It has been used traditionally to treat digestive problems, skin conditions, and as an anti-inflammatory agent. The plant thrives in tropical climates, requiring warm temperatures and well-drained soil. It produces vibrant, yellow flowers that attract pollinators like bees, enhancing the local ecosystem. Besides its culinary and medicinal uses, turmeric also adds ecological value by supporting biodiversity in its growing environment.
