Believed to be native to the Himalayan region of northeastern India, White turmeric has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. Besides, it resembles ginger in its shape and size, not to mention that it has an aroma that combines unripe, green mangos and ginger with the earthiness of a carrot. In addition, White Turmeric root has a bitter flavor and a mild pungency very similar to ginger. As a matter of fact, this turmeric is used in traditional medicine as a blood purifier, an anti-poison, and also as a treatment for colic and other digestive disorders.
