Turmeric (Kunyit) 500G

Fresh Turmeric (Kunyit) is a tropical rhizome widely used in Malaysian and Southeast Asian cooking. It has thin, light-brown skin and firm, golden-orange flesh with a distinctive earthy aroma and warm, peppery flavour. Fresh turmeric can be pounded or blended into spice pastes, grated into marinades, or sliced into soups, curries and traditional drinks.

Physical Characteristics

• Size: Small, slender, finger-like branching rhizomes growing 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) long.

• Skin & Surface: Thin, rough, light-brown-to-yellowish skin marked with distinct horizontal ring segments.

• Flesh & Core: Dense, solid, brilliantly vivid golden-orange to deep orange interior flesh that stains surfaces readily due to natural curcumin content.

• Texture: Firm, crisp, and dense when fresh, grating easily into a smooth, colorful paste.

Growth and Origin

• Native Habitat: Native to tropical South and Southeast Asia, where it thrives in warm, humid tropical environments.

• Cultivation & Sourcing: Grown in loose, well-drained, organic-rich tropical soils and harvested at full maturity when leaves dry up, ensuring high natural curcumin levels and steady year-round supply.

How to Use
Wash the fresh turmeric thoroughly under clean running water to remove dirt, then peel it if desired. Slice, grate, pound or blend it according to your recipe. Fresh turmeric can be used in Malaysian dishes such as curries, rendang, nasi kunyit and spice pastes (rempah). It can also be grated into marinades for meat and seafood, sliced into soups and broths, or steeped with ginger and lemon to make a warm drink. Handle with care, as fresh turmeric can stain your hands, utensils and kitchen surfaces.

Nutritional Benefits
Fresh turmeric contains curcuminoids, including curcumin, which contribute to its characteristic yellow-orange colour. It also provides small amounts of dietary fibre and other nutrients. Fresh turmeric can add flavour and colour to everyday meals as part of a varied, balanced diet.

How to Store
Store fresh turmeric in a cool, dry place for short-term use, or keep it in the refrigerator to help it stay fresh for longer. Place it in a suitable container or paper bag to protect it from excess moisture. Avoid washing the rhizomes until you are ready to use them, and remove any pieces that become soft or show signs of spoilage. For longer storage, fresh turmeric can be sliced or grated and frozen.
