It does have a great spicy taste when it's dried and used as a seasoning. Not too spicy though just a great flavor. I would almost say it's like a Saffron type flavor. And yes, it DOES color the dish yellow just the same. And you don't need culinary knowledge, at least not a bunch of it, just learn as you go, that's the best way!1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-82465566002377754602017-02-28T23:25:00.367-06:002017-02-28T23:25:00.367-06:00THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

Just pick out pieces that have started to put out little bumps. There are lots of pictures and instructions online as to how to grow it. Publix will take a large piece and cut off what you want, price tag the piece. You don't need a special bed for it. Stick it in a pot at your apartment or someplace in a bed of other things, even flowers.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-62701937208305313722017-02-23T10:35:50.995-06:002017-02-23T10:35:50.995-06:00Wow 1st Man, you really started something with thi...Wow 1st Man, you really started something with this post - I did not know tumeric was good for joint pain but I just learned it here & now! The end joints on the first 2 fingers of each hand & my thumbs have been getting more & more arthritic - now I'm going to try some tumeric & see if it helps the pain & stiffness for me.<br />With our short growing season (in comparison to yours) I doubt I could get it going, but I hope you guys will let us know how it turns out if you give it a go.

Both my husband and myself mix 1 teaspoon of the paste into 3 teaspoons of yoghurt and take this twice a day,( it amounts to about 1 teaspoon of powder but is nicer to take) yes it works for us to ease the joint pains and I actually feel better for it.
