In 1987, at the request of the National Women's History Project, Congress expanded the week to a month, and the U.S. Congress has issued a resolution every year since then, with wide support, for Women's History Month. The U.S. President has issued each year a proclamation of Women's History Month. To further extend the inclusion of women's history in the history curriculum (and in everyday consciousness of history), the President's Commission on the Celebration of Women in History in America met through the 1990s.
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) /ËtÉrmÉrÉªk/ or /ËtjuËmÉrÉªk/ or /ËtuËmÉrÉªk/ is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plant of the ginger family, Zingiberaceae. It is native to southwest India, requiring temperatures between 20 and 30 Â°C (68 and 86 Â°F) and a considerable amount of annual rainfall to thrive.ost turmeric is used in the form of rhizome powder; in some regions (especially in Maharashtra, Goa, Konkan and Kanara), turmeric leaves are used to wrap and cook food. Turmeric leaves are mainly used in this way in areas where turmeric is grown locally, since the leaves used are freshly picked.
For such a mild mannered kitchen herb, turmeric sure packs a punch. Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a perennial herb of the ginger family. The yellow root (rhizome) is the medicinal portion. Grown in South Asia, turmeric, sometimes called Indian saffron, is the ingredient that gives the yellow color to curry powder.It is extensively used for flavor and color in many foods around the world.urcumin is the compound which makes turmeric yellow. It is the most researched component of the herb, and is mainly responsible for turmeric's anti-inflammqtory properties. It is unlikely, however, that curcumin accounts for the totality of the broad spectrum action of the herb.
