Turmeric (yellow ginger)

Turmeric or yellow ginger

Turmeric belongs to the ginger family. To give you an idea of the size, that’s a teaspoon in the photo. What I wanted was to buy a turmeric plant for my small herb garden. But the available plant was too big to transport. I bought a pack of turmeric instead — P50.00 for quite a lot of turmeric at the Manila Seedling Bank in Quezon City. I only need to cut them and bury them in the soil and roots will grow. Since I have more than enough for the planting project, I used some of the yellow ginger for cooking (see the chicken in caramel sauce recipe). The yellow orange stains on my hands are still prominent 24 hours later.
