For the first the first time in my life...we made TURMERIC POWDER at home....
remember? I showed you the flowers in my turmeric plant?....after that I did not have any patience to let the whole plant dry...because they that the whole plant has to dry only after which we should harvest it...but my worry was about the other rhizomes sprouting.....already we have got 3 tiny turmeric plants, which have come up from the sprouts of this primary plant!!!
10 days after I had seen the flowers...WE harvested turmeric on Sunday (30/08/2020),..We got an yield of around 500 grams....
then, after giving a little to my grandmother, we did the following:
- cooked the rhizomes for about 20 minutes
- sliced them finely
- dried them under the fan that night
- then sun dried them for about 6 hours the next day
- then powdered it finely (after it dried completely)
but the amount of TURMERIC POWDER we got was only around 50 grams....but even a pinch from our own garden is always something special!!!
It had a stronger aroma compared to the store bought turmeric powder....
planning to grow more and get a higher yield next time!!
My only suggestion to people who are interested in growing ornamental plants is that please do try growing turmeric,because it looks like a show plant, there is no problem of pest attack...you need not look for another show plant up-to 10 months, you can also get a fantastic yield...
this turmeric powder we made is 100% pure, and organic!!!
Thank you!!!😀
Good
