Turmeric - Whole

Details:
 
Turmeric is a perennial plant of the ginger family and is native to tropical South Asia. Its active ingredient is curcumin and it has a distinctly earthy, mildly bitter, and peppery flavor with a mustardy smell. Almost exclusively used in powdered form, turmeric’s unique flavor and beautiful orange/yellow color distinguish any dish to which it is added.
 
During the Middle Ages turmeric was called "Indian saffron" because it was commonly used as a more affordable alternative to saffron.
