Turmeric is a fragrant, bright golden-yellow root that is most commonly seen and used dried and ground.
Although sometimes suggested as an alternative to saffron, these flavours have nothing in common, and so turmeric should never be used as a saffron substitute unless it’s purely for colour.

Use turmeric with vegetables and rice & bean dishes for an added subtle flavor and pop of golden orange color.
