Description
Turmeric fingers, the rhizomes or underground stems of the tropical plant belonging to the ginger family, exhibit a rough, segmented skin. Ranging from 2.5 to 7 cm in length and approximately 2.5 cm in diameter, these rhizomes feature smaller tubers branching off. Their color varies from yellowish-brown on the exterior to a dull orange interior, while the powdered form boasts a bright yellow hue.
As a spice, turmeric finger imparts a deep yellow color and a pungent flavor profile. To transform it into powdered form, the rootstalk undergoes boiling, drying, cleaning, and polishing before being ground. With a rich historical significance and usage dating back centuries in India, turmeric is often referred to as “Indian saffron.”
