Morag Gamble of Our Permaculture Life (https://www.ourpermaculturelife.com) and The Permaculture Education Institute (https://permacultureeducationinstitute.org) shows how to grow it and harvest it, and discusses ways to use and store it. UPDATE: thanks to Bernie, a Turmeric farmer (www.selfhelpretreat.com.au) for writing and saying there are three key forms of turmeric: 1. LONGA: deeply orange and contains lots of curcurmin - the one to use for medicine 2. AROMATICA: yellow, the one in this film, mostly for culinary purposes 3. NATIVE: Australia has a native turmeric in North Queensland. Polynesia has a black turmeric, and Hawaii folk has white turmeric. Remember too that your body can only absorb curcurmin when you add some pepper and oil too. This is why golden milk is popular, but also why it works in curries. Thanks for watching!
