Turmeric has a long history of medicinal and traditional uses in foods and beverages, with over 100 different varieties. The Red turmeric variety typically has a higher level of curcumin than the more common type of culinary "curry" yellow turmeric. Red turmeric has higher antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-aging effects. It is the turmeric associated with Okinawan longevity and healthy living, with a pleasant pungency and fruity-floral aromas that evoke fragrant citrus and flowers. This type of turmeric features a vivid reddish-gold saffron color.
