Turmeric is a plant related to ginger. It adds a bright yellow-orange colour and subtle flavours to many sweet and savoury dishes. It is an essential ingredient in many Indian curries and masalas and contributes the distinctive yellow colour to those dishes. In the West Turmeric is most frequently used as a colouring agent in cheeses, margarine, mustards, and pickling mixtures. The fresh rhizomes freeze well and may be stored for several months in an airtight container in the freezer. The powdered form will retain most of its flavour and all of its colouring ability for more than a year when properly stored.
