About this product

TKM Foods – Dehydrated Turmeric Root

Earthy, Golden Spice Root for Flavor and Color

Dehydrated turmeric root is turmeric that has been dried to remove moisture, typically sliced, or grated before drying, but also available whole. It comes from the rhizome (underground stem) of the Curcuma longa plant and is known for its deep orange-golden color (can vary) and warm, slightly bitter, earthy flavor with hints of ginger and citrus. Drying concentrates its flavor and extends its shelf life, making it ideal for long-term culinary use.

Common Uses:

Spice Blends:

  • Ground dehydrated turmeric is a staple in curry powders, garam masala, ras el hanout, and many other spice mixes.

Cooking Base:

  • It is often sautéed with onions, garlic, and other spices at the beginning of cooking to build depth in Indian, Middle Eastern, Thai, and Caribbean dishes.

Rice and Grain Dishes:

  • A small amount of ground turmeric or steeped dried slices can be added to rice, quinoa, or couscous for a rich yellow hue and warm flavor.

Soups and Stews:

  • Used in lentil soups, brothy stews, or chowders to add body, color, and subtle bitterness.

Pickling and Fermentation:

  • Often included in spice brines for pickles, especially in South Asian and Southeast Asian recipes.

Smoothies and Juices:

  • A pinch of ground turmeric or a sliver of rehydrated root can be added to smoothies or pressed juices for color and depth.

Baking:

  • Occasionally used in savory or sweet baked goods (like turmeric bread or golden muffins) for both flavor and color.

Pasta and Dough Coloring:

  • Turmeric powder can be used to naturally color pasta dough, bread, or flatbreads like naan or roti.

Tea and Infusions:

  • Rehydrate a few thin slices of dried turmeric root in hot water with black pepper and ginger for a warming infusion. Optional additions: lemon peel, cinnamon stick, or honey (added after cooling). Dry Rubs and Marinades: Mixed with other spices like cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and chili for rubs used on vegetables, tofu, or meats before roasting or grilling.
  • Sprinkle ground turmeric into scrambled eggs or tofu for a golden hue and subtle spice.
  • Simmer a few slices of dried root in coconut milk or broth when preparing Thai curries or golden soups.
  • Add to lentils or beans while cooking for enhanced color and depth of flavor.
  • Blend into spice-coated roasted vegetables like cauliflower, sweet potatoes, or carrots.

Usage Tips:

  • Pairs well with black pepper, ginger , cumin, and citrus.
