Turmeric
Turmeric is made from an underground stem called a rhizome. It has a warm, earthy flavor. Turmeric is common in cuisines worldwide but might be most well known as the spice that gives curry its distinctive yellow color. It works well with chicken, fish, vegetables, lentils and rice.
Turmeric root can be used fresh or as a powder, depending on the recipe.
