Thanks for the post, I'm going to try to grow some. I've been taking Turmeric for inflammation and it seems to work great. I also juice ginger and make ginger tea with honey before I go fishing because it helps me with nausea. Simon
Very nice! I'm learning to cook Cambodian food after a visit there earlier this year. I planted tumeric, galangal (greater & lesser) and lemongrass in my yard a few weeks ago to give me a ready supply of ingredients. My tumeric hasn't taken off like yours has. How much sun exposure does yours get? I think mine may need a bit more shade.
I have tried ginger but it does not grow. How much sun does it need. I gave tumerics but just learned what they were, used to call them hidden ginger because the beautiful flower is almost hidden down low.
Zands, I'm going to a Patel's grocery in Tampa tomorrow. I buy turmeric to use in food (mostly in powder form). This time, was planning to get some roots/bulbs as well. Aren't the roots the edible part? Or does one consume the leaves as well?And, if one consumes the bulbs, I guess they multiply when planted?
