Green Ashes Farm Turmeric root / rhizomes - Florida Fresh!

What you will get:
This listing is for our live, recently harvested, fresh, plump, juicy, orange turmeric rhizomes. These rhizomes can be planted to grow your own delicious turmeric and they can also be used in your favorite recipes or in your healthy morning juice. Please visit our Etsy store for wholesale quantities. In the store, you can also purchase turmeric mother rhizomes which will get your plants off to a faster start.

How it's grown:
At Green Ashes Farm, turmeric is our specialty.

The rich orange color develops as our turmeric is grown under the blazing Florida sun, in deep, dark, muck soils.

It is fertilized by the slow decay of organic mulch - wood chips, grass clippings, kitchen scraps, etc.

We plant turmeric in early spring, and start harvesting mature rhizomes in late December.

Immature rhizomes may be harvested earlier, and turmeric leaves are harvested and shipped throughout the growing season.

We harvest just enough rhizomes to satisfy our online orders, leaving the rest of the crop in the ground. The rhizomes remain fresh in the ground, but continue to mature and develop a deeper orange color as the season progresses. Turmeric season is usually over in early spring, but turmeric plants are offered for sale at that time.

Storage:
Turmeric can be stored in a root cellar or a cool dark cupboard for several months.

My favorite way to save all root crops (potatoes, carrots, ginger, turmeric, etc) is to bury it in a bucket of sand. It will remain fresh indefinitely, and you can retrieve your fresh turmeric roots when you need it.

Turmeric can also be frozen and stored for a year or more. However, the rhizomes will die when they freeze, and will no longer grow when planted.

We guarantee that when your turmeric arrives, it will be fresh! We ship our packages by USPS first class (standard) or USPS Priority Mail (expedited), and if it isn't the freshest turmeric you've ever bought then you can return it for a full refund of the product cost.
