Turmeric Finger
One of the special ingredients in Thai cuisine is fresh turmeric, which belongs to the ginger family. Unlike powdered turmeric, fresh turmeric finger has a mild yet pleasant taste. It stands out with its vibrant orange color and beige-brown skin.
Fresh turmeric finger is more fleshy and smaller than ginger. Its cylindrical shape tapers at both ends, and it looks like slender, breakable fingers. This root is packed with essential health benefits. It can grow long or short, straight or curved, and is easily peeled and chopped.
Fresh turmeric finger is often used to relieve muscle swelling and soreness. In India, it's also valued as a medicinal herb that boosts metabolism, aids digestion, and strengthens immunity.
