The part that is used is its rhizome, an underground stem with bright orange flesh. India alone produces the vast majority of the world’s harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts colour fascinated travellers. At the end of the 13th century, Marco Polo described it as a plant that has “all the properties of true saffron”: hence its nickname, Indian saffron. Even today, it is what gives curry its golden colour, and its pigment, curcumin, is a food colouring authorised under the code \u003cb\u003eE100\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn India, it goes far beyond the kitchen.
