Popular Uses for Turmeric Root
-
Teas and Infusions
Steep dried or fresh turmeric root in hot water along with ingredients like ginger, black pepper, or cinnamon to create a soothing, aromatic tea. This anti-inflammatory beverage is also known for its warming flavor and potential wellness benefits. -
Curries and Stews
Grated or sliced turmeric root adds earthy depth and a bold golden color to Indian, Thai, and Middle Eastern dishes. It blends well with garlic, onion, and other spices in rich, comforting stews. -
Soups and Broths
Drop a few pieces of it into simmering broths as well as soups. As it cooks, it releases vibrant color and subtle flavor, enhancing everything from lentil soup to chicken broth. -
Rice and Grain Dishes
Cook it with rice, quinoa, couscous, or bulgur for an eye-catching yellow hue and mild herbal undertone. It adds visual interest and a gentle earthy aroma to simple grain sides. -
Pickling and Fermenting
Use turmeric root in homemade pickles or fermented foods such as kimchi or sauerkraut. It not only adds a punch of flavor and color but also contributes antimicrobial properties, making it ideal for preserving.
CAUTION: Dried Turmeric Root is extremely hard and may cause damage to grinders or blades if not properly processed. It is best used in its whole form for infusions, broths, and pickling. If adding to soups, stews, or teas, ensure the root is removed before serving. If grinding is necessary, use a high-powered spice grinder designed for tough roots.
