Fresh turmeric roots are a versatile aromatic spice and natural colouring agent with a long-standing culinary tradition in Asian cuisine. Characterised by their vibrant golden hue and earthy, slightly peppery flavor, these roots are an essential component for various culinary creations, including the popular "Golden Milk" drink. To prepare, simply peel the outer skin with a spoon or knife and grate or slice the root according to your recipe's needs. For optimal freshness, store in a dry, airy place protected from light at approximately 12-13°C. Turmeric roots can be used to add depth and vibrant colour to soups, sauces, dressings, rice dishes, fish, and meats, or used in smaller quantities to enhance desserts such as puddings and biscuits.
