Description
Turmeric is a fragrant, bright golden-yellow root that is most commonly seen and used dried and ground. Although sometimes suggested as an alternative to saffron, these flavours have nothing in common, and so turmeric should never be used as a saffron substitute unless it’s purely for colour.
The fresh root is small-finger sized, like a minimal ginger root, to which family it belongs. The flavour is fresh and acidic but somewhat earthy, lightly spiced and engagingly flavoured and scented, with a bright life that the more common ground version quickly loses.
Ground turmeric is a major component in curry power mixtures but although it certainly adds a warming colour, its use is more for flavour, which is mildly fragrant and has a slight ginger-like bite; however it is also bitter in quantity and overuse can make very unpleasant eating. Used properly it contributes a gentle background, a bridge between other spices, helping blend their flavours into something new and satisfying.
