[What is Curcuma Longa?]

Turmeric is an herbaceous plant known scientifically as Curcuma longa. It belongs to the Zingiberaceae family, which includes ginger. Tumeric has rhizomes rather than true roots, which are the primary source of commercial value for this plant. Tumeric originates from southwest India, where it has been a stable of Siddha medicine for thousands of years. It is also a common spice in Indian cuisine and is often used as flavoring for Asian mustards.

“I have been drinking Stevia for about 2 months, a friend of mine recommended it to me, she said it has a very natural flavour. Before I used to use sweeteners but they leave a slightly metallic flavour and really the food or infusions did not have such a good taste like they have with this substance, it really is very nice.”

“In reality the properties have been known for a long time, but now recently it is like they are fashionable or are in the focus much more after many investigations recently that have taken place. It is as a result of the fact they contain a glycoside, that’s a sugar which is called rebaudioside-A and for instance the plants that Biofabrica produce they have a major content of rabaudioside-A. And what does rebaudioside-A contain; it’s what gives the sweetness element to this plant, its origins are all natural, it has no additive, nothing, they are not artificially improved. They produce from themselves this sweetness and they have zero calories.”
