Turmeric, Fresh
Fresh turmeric is a rhizome, or underground stem, related to ginger and galangal, characterized by its vibrant orange color and earthy flavor. Unlike its dried, powdered form, fresh turmeric offers a more subtle, less intense flavor profile and retains a higher moisture content. It is commonly used in Southeast Asian and Indian cuisines, where it is grated, sliced, or juiced to add color and flavor to curries, stir-fries, and beverages; it also contains curcumin, a compound studied for its potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
