Turmeric is a powder spice resulted from grinding the roots of the turmeric plant, which comes from the same family as ginger. It is characterized by a yellowish-orange color, which is why it is used in preparing Asian foods to add color, an earthy aroma like mustard’s, and a warm, bitter taste like black pepper’s. Turmeric is an essential spice in curry, and it is at its best when it is mixed with other herbs and spices; but it is used as well in beverages such as tea, milk, and orange juice, baked goods such as bread, cookies, and cake, dairy products such as yogurt and ice cream, and in popcorn and cereals. As for cooking at home, it goes into many dishes that are not necessarily Asian such as shrimp, roasted chicken thighs or breasts, soup, sautéed vegetables, pasta, chickpea stew, scrambled eggs, and others. Turmeric belongs in the pantry with other spices; more precisely, in a cool dark place. It would last for 3 to 4 years before starting to lose its shape. Turmeric can be bought ready-made in a jar or a package from the store or by weight from your local market. You can also grind dehydrated fresh turmeric roots, which typically stay up to six months in the freezer.
