Fresh Turmeric Root, also known as Haldi, Manjal and Pasupu, has vivid orange-gold flesh with an earthy, peppery and slightly bitter flavour. Grate or finely chop it to add distinctive colour and depth to curries, dal, rice, pickles, soups and warm drinks. Browse our Spices & Flavour Boosters or explore all fresh produce in Fresh Foods.
Grate fresh turmeric into curries, dal and rice dishes, or combine it with lemon and salt for a simple pickle. Blend a small amount into smoothies and juices, add it to soups and stir-fries, or simmer grated turmeric with milk and warming spices for Haldi Doodh.
Can I use fresh turmeric instead of turmeric powder?
Yes, but fresh turmeric has a different texture and a brighter, more pronounced flavour. Adjust the amount to suit your recipe.
How do I make Haldi Doodh with fresh turmeric?
Simmer a small amount of grated fresh turmeric with milk and optional warming spices, then strain before serving.
Does fresh turmeric stain?
Yes. Its strong natural pigment can stain hands, clothing, utensils and worktops, so handle it carefully and clean surfaces promptly.
