Raw fresh turmeric harvested
Available for 250 per kg
Srushti had given 5 kg last year from hebbarnatti farm in chickmagalur!
Its such a dilemma to process without loosing curcumin content. Any heat and sunlight reduces it....
Raw cut and dried will preserve the maximum...but shelf life may be less.....
Of course, i am drawn towards no heat !
Any advice?
By the way, we had layered all the small branches when we cleared this space , and topped it with manure and soil. It seems to have loved the extra room to grow well.
I even fermented the grated juice with citrus juice this time and tried in cooking. Loved the fragrance. It lasred more than a month
