Today, I'm preserving turmeric root. I grow turmeric root but haven't reached the point where I'm growing enough for our needs, so when I have opportunity to purchase good quality root, I do. That's what I did this week.
Here's how I preserved it …
I washed it up and then chopped it using my food chopper.
Here it is chopped and ready for the dehydrator.
I spread it out on the dehydrator tray and ran the dehydrator at 125 degrees for approximately 3 - 4 hours.
And finally, here it is dehydrated and jared. I'll continue to repeat this process until I have a couple of jars full.
How will I use this dehydrated turmeric? It'll be used in making cider fire or ground into a powder when needed. I try to keep all the ingredients on hand at all times for making cider fire so that when I need to make it, I don't have to run around to several different stores looking for the ingredients. I have not been able to find turmeric locally so when we're out of town I always look for it and buy it if I can. That's how I got this turmeric.
