The Orange Turmeric is a thick, cylindrical rhizome of the ginger family. Finely grated, it adds many health benefits and a brilliant colour and earthy flavour to foods such as Indian curries, rice and vegetarian dishes.
Fresh Turmeric is lightly aromatic and slightly peppery, the flavour is pungent and bitter. Turmeric is a primary ingredient of Curry Powder, used heavily in Indian dishes with legumes, beans, and vegetables. That wonderful ballpark mustard also contains turmeric as a colouring. To make yellow rice, use one teaspoon to colour one cup of raw rice. In the garden, the luscious leafy plant produces a spectacular flower that will stop you in your tracks, making a great ornamental feature. The foliage will die back in the winter indicating it is ready for harvest 🧡 #daleysfruit #daleysnursery #tumeric
