My entry to the Ladies of Hive community contest #256. [En-Es] I am turmeric
It had never occurred to me to compare myself to a spice before. I like many, especially cinnamon and cumin. I also like annatto, anise, and cloves, both for the flavor and color they add to dishes and desserts and for their health benefits.
Nunca antes se me había ocurrido compararme con una especia. Me gustan muchas, sobre todo la canela y el comino. También me gustan el onoto, el anís y el clavo, tanto por el sabor y color que aportan a comidas y postres como por sus beneficios para la salud.
Two days ago, I found the turmeric plant I thought was lost. Years ago, the pot had been removed from where it had been and placed on the other side of the patio, near plants that grew up around it and hid it.
Fortunately, after a long time, I discovered it and saved it from being cut down because I saw its first flower.
Hace dos días encontré la planta de cúrcuma que creía perdida. Años atrás habian quitado la maceta de donde la tenía para colocarla del otro lado del patio, cerca de plantas que crecieron a su alrededor y la ocultaron.
Felizmente, después de mucho tiempo, la descubrí y salvé de que la cortaran porque vi su primera flor.
I chose the spice extracted from its root to answer the first of the two questions of the 256th weekly quiz made by @elizabethbit.
1️⃣ Spices make life and food interesting! If a spice could describe you and your personality, what would it be and why?
1️⃣ ¡Las especias hacen que la vida y la comida sean interesantes! Si una especia pudiera describirte y tu personalidad, ¿cuál sería y por qué?
I am turmeric, a yellow-orange powder extracted from the rhizome of a plant in the same family as ginger.
Soy la curcuma, un polvo amarillo-naranja extraído del rizoma de una planta de la misma familia que el jengibre.

I am a native of eastern India, where I have been used since ancient times in the preparation of the famous 🍛 curry, composed of various spices and the basis of its gastronomy.
Soy nativa del este de la India, donde me han usado desde tiempos ancestrales en la preparación del famoso 🍛 curry, compuesto de varias especias y base de su gastronomía.
I add a beautiful yellow color to rice. That's why I'm also called Indian saffron. I'm also used to add color to mustard and flavor to dehydrated broth concentrates, such as cubes and soup packets.
Aporto un lindo color amarillo al arroz. Por éso también me llaman azafrán indio. Soy usada para darle también color a la mostaza y sabor a concentrados de caldos deshidratados, como cubitos y sopas de sobre.
Currently, medical scientists are studying my potential as an anticancer, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory, especially my purified derivative, or curcumin. I am rich in sugars, vitamins, and minerals.
Actualmente científicos en la rama médica estudian mi potencial como anticancerígeno, antioxidante y antiinflamatorio, sobre todo de mi derivado purificado o curcumina. Soy rica en azúcares, vitaminas y minerales.
Soy usada también en cosmética y en la preparación de productos de belleza.
The plant from which I am extracted, Curcuma longa, is beautiful; its flower resembles that of ginger and alpinia, only it is white. It has been introduced to many countries in the Neotropics, where they also benefit from my valuable byproducts.
La planta de donde me extraen, la Curcuma longa, es bonita, su flor se parece a la de jengibre y a la de alpinia, solo que es blanca. Ha sido introducida a muchos países del Neotrópico donde también se benefician de mis valiosos subproductos.
I am on the official list of colorants suitable for consumption in the European Union, under the code E100i.
Estoy en la lista oficial en la union europea de colorantes aptos para el consumo, bajo el código E100i.
2️⃣ If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, what are you most excited about about fall? If you live in the Southern Hemisphere, what are you most excited about about spring? If you live in the Central Hemisphere, what are you most excited about this season?
2️⃣ Si vives en el hemisferio norte, ¿qué es lo que más te entusiasma del otoño? Si vives en el hemisferio sur, ¿qué es lo que más te entusiasma de la primavera? Si vives en el hemisferio medio, ¿qué es lo que más te entusiasma de esta temporada?
I live in Venezuela, a tropical country where we only have a rainy season and a dry season.
We don't enjoy the typical seasonal changes that occur in the north and south, but I can say that there are reasons to celebrate this month.
Vivo en Venezuela, país tropical donde sólo tenemos estación lluviosa y estación seca.
No disfrutamos de los típicos cambios de estación que se dan en el norte y en el sur, sin embargo puedo decir que hay motivos para celebrar este mes.
Rainfall is becoming less frequent, breezy, and clearer skies are becoming more common.
The days are hot but very sunny, and early Christmas radio and television programming begins.
Comienzan a ser menos frecuentes las lluvias, a haber más brisa y estar el cielo mas despejado.
Los días son calurosos pero muy soleados y comienzan las programaciones de radio 📻 y televisión 📺 que se adelantan a celebrar la navidad.
Todas las fotos, excepto la tercera, fueron tomadas por mí con mi teléfono inteligente Samsung Galaxy A15.
Muchas gracias por detenerse y leer mi publicación.

Hi, I had the potted plant for several years. Since it got lost, I didn't see it bloom until now. Thanks to that, it wasn't cut down.
I'm glad you like it, thank you 🤗 @kerrislravenhill.
