Fresh Turmeric

A rhizome of the ginger family that reveals a vivid orange interior when cut. Unlike dried, ground turmeric, the fresh root is far more aromatic and noticeably less bitter.

Taste & Texture

Earthy, lightly peppery, with a citrus-like freshness behind it. It lacks the dusty heaviness of the powder. Choose roots with smooth skin that snap juicy and bright orange.

How to Enjoy

• Grate into soups, rice dishes and vegetable cooking.
• Steep with ginger, lemon and honey for a hot drink.
• Make golden latte with dairy or plant milk.
• Use as a natural colouring in pickles and ferments.

Storage

Keeps 2–3 weeks wrapped in paper in the crisper drawer. For long keeping, peel and freeze — it grates easily from frozen. It will stain hands and surfaces, so gloves are advisable.

Nutrition

Its natural yellow-orange colour comes from curcuminoid pigments. Used in cooking for colour and aroma.

This is a natural agricultural product: size, colour and weight may vary by harvest and by batch.
