• Highly versatile in the kitchen: It can be used grated, sliced, blended, infused or added directly during cooking.
• Fresh and aromatic root: As it is sold in root form, it retains a firm texture and a different aroma from dried turmeric powder.

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

Spanish-grown turmeric offers a locally sourced alternative to imported turmeric, reducing transport distances and allowing for more careful selection of the fresh product.

At Tropitop, we select each batch according to its freshness, firmness, aroma and quality, so that the turmeric arrives at your home in good condition and ready to use in your recipes.

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

Before using it, wash the root thoroughly 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 peeled easily with a small knife or spoon.

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