Fresh turmeric is a root especially appreciated for its intense yellow-orange colour, its characteristic aroma and its warm, slightly earthy and spicy flavour. Its versatility makes it suitable for savoury recipes, drinks, infusions and many traditional and modern preparations.

Among the main qualities of fresh turmeric are:

Our fresh turmeric comes from crops in Peru, where the temperature, humidity and soil conditions allow firm, aromatic roots with an intense interior colour to develop.

This origin allows us to offer carefully selected fresh turmeric, chosen for its quality, aroma and good condition.

At Tropitop, we select each batch according to its freshness, firmness, aroma and quality, so the turmeric reaches your home in good condition and ready to be used in your recipes.

Fresh turmeric stands out for its ability to add colour, aroma and flavour to many preparations. It can be grated directly over rice dishes, soups, stews, creams and sauces, or crushed to add to smoothies, infusions and drinks.

Before using it, it is advisable to wash the root well to remove any traces of soil. It can be used with the skin on if it is clean and in good condition, although it can also be easily peeled with a small knife or a spoon.

Thanks to its warm and slightly spicy flavour, it pairs very well with ginger, pepper, garlic, onion, citrus fruits, coconut milk, vegetables, legumes, rice, meat, fish and many spice blends.
