You can grow turmeric in-ground or in containers. Turmeric requires 9-10 months until harvest, if you are in a cooler climate (USDA zone 7 and lower), we recommend growing in containers so the plant can be moved indoors during the cold months. Turmeric can be grown outside year-round in USDA zones 8 and higher. If you are planning on growing your turmeric in a container, make sure you choose the correct size. We recommend a 15-gallon or 45-gallon Root Pouch grow bag.
As noted in the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) Journal, turmeric, and its primary compound, curcumin, can modulate multiple human cell signaling pathways. These pathways impact physiological processes, and especially those involved in the immune system...
Curcumin, the most widely recognized component in turmeric, is chemically a lipophilic polyphenol, which is scientifically recognized as an antioxidant. In addition to its antioxidant properties, research findings published in 2020 in Frontiers in Pharmacology revealed the following five other benefits from ingestion of the Curcumin in Turmeric:
- Anti-inflammatory effects;
-
Neuroprotective effects (i.e., protective of the nervous system);
-
Anti-cancer effects (through biochemical effects on signaling pathways);
-
Hepatoprotective effects (i.e., protective of the liver);
-
Cardio-protective effects (i.e., protective of the heart)
