Turmeric, fresh curcumin, 0.250 kg Pack

Fresh Turmeric's gentle carrot/ginger-like flavor lends itself well to both sweet and savory applications. It adds freshness to curries and soups and can be pickled or fried. Its vibrant color is a wonderful addition to any dish, but can also stain clothing and porous surfaces.

Wrap in a paper towel and store in the fridge inside a Tupperware or airtight bag where it will keep for a couple of weeks.
