It has a slightly bitter, peppery taste and is renowned for its potential health benefits, attributed to the presence of curcumin, a bioactive compound with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In addition to culinary uses, raw turmeric is often valued for its potential in promoting overall well-being.
