Curcuma longa L.
Turmeric has a wonderful, golden-yellow color and a pungent, distinctive aroma. Indispensable in curry powders and East Indian cooking, turmeric is also used in prepared mustards and pickles, dressings, and egg and rice dishes. Alleppey, a region and city in extreme southwestern India, produces two grades of turmeric sold on the US market. "Fingers", are appendages separated from the main rhizome and broken into 1-3 inch lengths. Fingers have a higher curcumin content (therefore, better color), more flavor (because of their volatile oil content), and are the best quality turmeric for grinding. The "splits and bulbs" grade are pieces derived from the main root. They are less expensive, but tend to be lower in overall quality (flavor, volatile oil, color), more fibrous and difficult to grind.
