Yes, turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a plant that belongs to the ginger family. The part of the turmeric plant that is commonly used is its underground stem, known as a rhizome. This rhizome looks similar to ginger and is the source of the bright yellow-orange spice that is used in cooking, as well as in traditional medicine and various cultural practices. The active compound responsible for turmeric's color and potential health benefits is called curcumin.
