Flowering ginger relative’s bulbous roots lend curry earthy, peppery flavor and ultra-vivid yellow-orange color. Fresh turmeric, grated or minced, offers flavor—lighter, brighter, and kickier by far—than the dried herb. A favored condiment in Asia, turmeric infuses curries, marinades, rice dishes, and smoothies with ting tang walla walla bing bang. (Top tip: be sure to wear gloves when grating bulb). Ornamental tropical perennial’s heavily-branching 3 plants produce large, lovely large green and white three-petaled corollas amid the lance-shaped leaves: stunning in your garden or as cut flowers. Turmeric thrives in hot, humid climates, preferring full sun or light shade. In areas with cooler summers, plant in full sun.
