  • About
Turmeric is a rhizome (underground stem) and a member of the ginger family. A native to the Malay Archipelago, turmeric is dried and ground into a resinous powder. Its deep golden-yellow color has become synonymous with the name and it is what gives yellow curries their color. The rich, earthy flavors impart a solid base and accent to the dish. The fresh rhizome, which has a vaguely gingery taste that ground dried turmeric lacks, is a cornerstone aromatic in the region and is often used in flavoring pastes. It not only gives curries and stews an appealing golden color, but also imparts a musky, peppery taste.
