Blue Turmeric (Tumeric)

Blue Turmeric (Curcuma caesia) is a rare relative of common orange turmeric, grown for its edible blue rhizome. Like regular turmeric, it is used fresh or dried in cooking and for medicinal purposes. Its flavour is stronger and more aromatic than regular tumeric, best used in smaller amounts in curries, soups, rice dishes, pickles, or herbal infusions. A unique natural variation within the turmeric family, sharing similar growing habits and culinary uses.
