Since it is related to the ginger family I assume you should. But when I read your article it says to clean, boil, dry and grind. Can you find out for me and let me know? Thanks <em>Shilpa: Yes, you need to peel it. I forgot to mention that.</em> My question is, do you need to peel fresh tumeric first before you dry it and grind it?

What has happened to this world? They dont mind when MSG or food coloring is added to food. They say food is not tasty without MSG, turmeric and so many other spices that have gone out of the kitchen contribute a lot to taste, especially the satisfaction at the end of the meal. The only way I can eat an egg burji without bloating is by adding a lot of turmeric to it. But I guess people attitude is why add turmeric when you can have an antacid after your meal. Wonderful post. I have a terrible cough and cold which got better after a glass of turmeric in milk yesterday, today my milk got spoilt :-(. When searching for some other way to down my fresh turmeric I stumbled upon you site. Great article. Thank you I am surprised that people are objecting to using turmeric.

I've made some ground turmeric and chopped some fresh ones then froze them. I just read in Fine Cooking that turmeric leaves are eatable but I'm having trouble finding recipes using the leaves. Would love to have more recipes for the root as well as the leaves. Thanks for your article. It is very informative and interesting. We grow turmeric here in Texas and they do very well.
