Handling protocols

  • Choose firm rhizomes and discard pieces that are mouldy, very soft, leaking or strongly off-smelling.
  • Rinse under clean running water before cutting, grating or blending and use clean utensils and boards.
  • Turmeric can stain hands, boards and containers, so handle and clean preparation surfaces promptly.

Storage tips

  • Refrigerate fresh turmeric in a clean bag or covered container and keep it as dry as practical.
  • For best household quality, aim to use within about 2–3 weeks; fresh turmeric can keep for several weeks under refrigeration when sound.
  • For longer storage, portion and freeze; discard if mouldy, slimy, very soft or strongly off-smelling.
