Turmeric

This is a bright yellow spice made from dry Turmeric Rhizomes. It is a common spice used in Asian and Indian cuisine and gives its food a yellow tinge when added to recipes. It’s earthy, bitter flavor is pungent, but works well in spice blends, like ground curry, or added to mustards, relishes, cheeses and butter. This has the same bright penetrating yellow colos as saffron, but a much different flavor profile, with ginger and orange notes. You can exchange saffron for it for visual affect, but it will alter the taste of the dish.

Turmeric Rhizomes used to make the ground spice, grow underground and come from the root of the Curcuma longa plant like fingers that extend from the root. It is a leafy plant in the ginger family. Curcuma longa is primarily grown and sourced from India but can also be found in Vietnam. The rhizomes are dried and then ground to make the the powder.
