Plant Care & Growing Tips

While this product is a harvested root, understanding the ideal growing conditions for fresh wild turmeric root can help in storage and appreciating its natural origins. Turmeric thrives in warm, humid climates, typical of its native Fiji. It requires ample moisture and well-draining soil to prevent rot. For those interested in growing their own, turmeric rhizomes can be planted in late spring or early summer once soil temperatures are consistently above 65°F (18°C).

When storing your organic turmeric root, keep it in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated place. Avoid refrigeration if possible, as it can sometimes lead to premature softening. If you must refrigerate, place it in a paper bag to absorb excess moisture and then inside a plastic bag to maintain humidity, using it within a few weeks. For longer storage, turmeric can be peeled, grated, and frozen, or dried and powdered. The natural orange color is a key indicator of its freshness and high quality. Ensuring proper storage helps maintain the high curcumin value that makes our Fiji turmeric so sought after.
