Turmeric Tip
We often get asked what to do with all this turmeric! The fresh root will keep for a few weeks in your fridge, but I recommend freezing the roots! It is easily grated from the frozen state, making it simple to obtain your daily dose of beneficial turmeric! You may wish to break up the root into smaller, ready-to-use chunks before freezing. But, we don’t thinks it’s necessary to peel the root. Grate a hunk into your stir-fry, soups, dressings and tea!
