Fresh Turmeric Root - Yellow or White

Fresh Turmeric Root for Curries, Pickles and Drinks

Fresh turmeric root adds earthy warmth and gentle pungency to curries, seasoning pastes, pickles, rice dishes, soups, and drinks. Choose yellow turmeric for its vivid golden color and familiar earthy flavor, or white turmeric for a paler root with a ginger-like, lightly bitter character.

Ways to Use Fresh Turmeric

• Grate or mince into curries, soups, marinades, and stir-fries
• Blend into curry paste, chutney, pickles, smoothies, or juices
• Slice and steep in hot water with ginger or citrus
• Use fresh in place of dried turmeric, adjusting to taste

Preparation and Storage

Scrub thoroughly before use. Peel thinly with a spoon, peeler, or small knife if desired, then grate, slice, or mince. Yellow turmeric can stain hands, cutting boards, fabric, and countertops, so handle it carefully. Refrigerate the roots in a dry container or freeze for longer storage.

Fresh rhizomes naturally vary in size, shape, and skin color. Yellow and white options are available in multiple package sizes.
