please oh, what is the difference BTW Ginger and Turmeric

There is a large difference although they belong to the same family.Turmeric ranges from yellow to orange in color while ginger is ash.Ginger has a peppery taste while turmeric does not.Although they have some similar uses as they have anti-inflammatory properties and burn cholesterol,
turmeric has wider applications than ginger.
