Turmeric

[poliphilo]

As we move towards a healthier, Gaia-friendly diet we're finding we're eating things we've never eaten before. T'other day it was chickweed today it's turmeric.

I've cooked with turmeric powder of course but what we're talking about here is the root in its virgin form. It's very, very orange. Bite into it and it's juicy and crunchy, has a clean, medicinal taste and leaves a tingle behind.  It's something like ginger but not as fiery.

Oh, only take care with that stuff with the color that it makes. You gonna find yellow in your kitchen in any place still after 3 days - and you don't get it fully washed off. It needs to get lost by grabbing.

Too late.

I have deep yellow stains on my hand. Never mind. It's an attractive colour. :)
