I recommend finding a Middle Eastern Indian market for the white turmeric and save your kitchen from turning yellow hehehe

Happy Gardening !

Post by: roblack on August 16, 2020, 12:40:40 PM: Actually, it is a great trade offer. I paid more than the cost of a box o mangoes.

True black turmeric is somewhat difficult to find, and usually not cheap. Same with kasturi/cosmetic.
