Description
These tubers are fresh turmeric roots (rhizomes of the Curcuma longa plant). They resemble ginger roots in appearance, but are usually slightly narrower, more finger-like in shape, and have a characteristic ring-shaped pattern on their brownish skin. Beneath the skin lies an intensely orange-yellow flesh that stains strongly. When freshly grated or finely chopped, they impart an earthy, slightly bitter flavor to Asian curries, soups, and rice dishes. They are the main ingredient in the trendy drink “golden milk” or freshly brewed turmeric tea. – 1990
