Our turmeric is carefully cultivated ensuring a pure and natural product. Fresh turmeric (Curcuma long) comes from the root of a flowering plant in the ginger family. The turmeric plant is a perennial native to India and Southeast Asia. Turmeric is a key component of Indian spice blends and curry powder—in fact, it’s what gives curry powder that gorgeous amber-orange shade and warm flavor. Turmeric roots resemble fresh ginger roots, but they have a bright orange flesh when you peel or slice into them. What does turmeric taste like? It has a bold flavor with a peppery-sweet taste and earthy, citrusy appeal. Cooking with Turmeric Turmeric root, when fresh, can last in your fridge for a few weeks. All you have to do is peel it and add it to your favorite dishes by either finely chopping or shredding it. I like to use a microplane or zester to shred my fresh turmeric into a variety of dishes, including salads, sauces, vinaigrettes, side dishes, entrees, and baked goods. When you use it in its fresh form, turmeric is milder, so you can use a whole root (about 3 inches long) in a single recipe. I love to use fresh turmeric in soups, stews, stir-fries, curry dishes, smoothies, salads, roasted vegetable dishes, veggie burgers, baked goods, turmeric latte, and more. You can also make a simple ginger turmeric tea by steeping a sliver of fresh turmeric and fresh ginger in boiling water.
