Organic Red Turmeric (Curcuma longa)

NOW OFFERING ORGANIC GREEN TURMERIC ( CURCUMA AERUGINOSA). I HAVE TO APOLOGIZE HERE, WE WERE ORIGINALLY CALLING THIS BLACK TURMERIC! THEN WE SAW THAT MOST PEOPLE CONSIDER “BLACK” TO BE THE VARIETY THAT IS VIOLET BLUE INSIDE. SO WE HAVE BEEN CALLING IT “WHITE”, (CURCUMA ZEDOARIA), SO FAR THIS SEASON. WELL, THAT’S NOT RIGHT EITHER, WHITE TURMERIC IS ALSO KNOWN AS “MANGO” AND IS DEFINITELY NOT GREEN INSIDE. I BELIEVE WE HAVE FINALLY PROPERLY IDENTIFIED THIS VARIETY, AND I AM SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION. I THINK I SEE WHY THIS HAS BEEN SO TRICKY TO SORT OUT. IT SEEMS IT WAS JUST 2014 WHEN RESEARCHERS CHANGED THEIR MIND AND DECIDED THIS WAS NOT THE SAME VARIETY AS “BLACK”, (CURCUMA CAESIA). I AM GOING TO GO WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII AND START CALLING IT “GREEN”. MAKES SENSE TO ME AS IT IS DEFINITELY A LIME GREEN INSIDE. OF COURSE, NOW IT WILL BE CONFUSING BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL THINK IT’S GREEN AS IN NOT RIPE YET, AND I PROBABLY WON’T SELL ANY BECAUSE NO ONE EVER HEARD OF IT. AN INTERNET SEARCH OF COMMON NAMES BRINGS UP “BLACK GINGER”, PINK AND BLUE GINGER”, “HIDDEN LILLY”, AND MORE VERNACULAR NAMES IN INDIA, MALAYSIA, ETC. I WILL POST MORE INFORMATION AS TO IT’S USES, BUT I CAN TELL YOU IT IS A LOT “STRONGER” TASTING THAN THE RED, IT IS MORE OF A MEDICINAL USE THAN A FOOD PRODUCT.

Organic green Turmeric (curcuma aeruginosa)

What is Turmeric? 

We grow and sell turmeric of the Red Hawaiian variety seedstock. Through our own seed saving of the largest rhizomes (and good fertility) we produce turmeric that is larger than most . We call it the “White Rabbit Giant” variety. I don’t know what the legalities of botany and species are, but it is big turmeric, it’s my turmeric, and I call it ” Giant Turmeric “. Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is native to South Asia and is in the same family as ginger. Fresh Turmeric “roots” are technically rhizomes that grow in fleshy clusters similar to ginger, but not always quite as large in size. The roots have a bright yellow-orange color and are the part of the plant used for cooking, dyes, and powders. It has been a popular seasoning in many Middle Eastern dishes for thousands of years, mostly ones that include curry. It is also used as a colorant for certain foods like cheeses and butter and is a great dye for clothing, soap, and cosmetics. Fresh Turmeric has a livelier and juicier flavor than dehydrated turmeric, but both have been described as having a peppery, warm, bitter flavor. 

Health Benefits of Turmeric  

Turmeric has many medicinal properties, all deriving from its powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effect. The curcumin chemical within it is the main active ingredient responsible for all the health benefits. As it is now believed that chronic, low-level inflammation plays a major role in almost every chronic Western disease, turmeric has a long list of conditions that can be powerful to help treat humans. This includes heart disease, arthritis, GI diseases, cancer, metabolic syndrome, Alzheimer’s and various degenerative conditions. The best thing about using curcumin for medicinal purposes over traditional medical approaches is its lack of side effects!

When examining the research, turmeric benefits go beyond that of these 10 drugs:   Sourced from: https://draxe.com/turmeric-benefits/ 

• Anti-inflammatory drugs

• Anti-depressants (Prozac)

• Chemotherapy

• Anti-coagulants (Aspirin)

• Pain killers

• Diabetes drugs (Metformin)

• Arthritis medications

• Inflammatory bowel disease drugs

• Cholesterol drugs (Lipitor)

All of this considered, just consuming fresh turmeric by itself as a spice would be hard to receive maximum levels of medicinal benefits. The curcumin content of the turmeric root is not that high, usually around 3%, by weight. Therefore, juicing is one of the best ways to receive the most concentrated health benefits of curcumin in fresh turmeric.  An efficient way to do this is to juice a bunch at once , say a 5 lb. box, and use styrofoam egg cartons or ice cube trays to freeze it. Then just pop out a cube of frozen turmeric juice for your smoothie, golden milk,etc. No wasted turmeric, get the juicer cleaned up once from orange turmeric stain. We suggest an auger style wheatgrass type juicer for turmeric as it really wrings all the juice out, more so than a centrifugal style.

Different ways to enjoy Turmeric 

When fresh and tender, the rind of the turmeric is soft and easy to chew or grate like ginger. It can be juiced to make a more potent serving, and can add a kick to your overall juice mixture or smoothie. Cooking with it provides dishes with an excellent earthy and peppery flavor that can transform a bland food like cauliflower or rice into something more interesting. Adding it to greens like collards and chard or soups is also a wonderful option. Try even making a tea by steeping some turmeric with milk and honey for a delightfully comforting beverage.
