Turmeric (Curcuma spp.) – turmeric is a well known spice used in cooking many Asian dishes, but is also used as a medicine and is considered an adaptogen. Most turmerics are Curcuma longa, but there are black turmerics (Curcuma caesia) which tend to be more medicinal than culinary. Turmeric is a tropical plant with a strong center of diversity in India. Along with ginger, turmeric is in the family Zingiberaceae and produces underground ‘fingers’ after a long growing season.

OUR WORK

The Utopian Seed Project is exploring a range of varieties of turmeric of different colors (reds, oranges, yellows, whites, greens, and blacks). One of the key components of our work with tropical perennials is to ensure that they can be grown in a sustainable way i.e. we want to produce our own propagation material (be it seeds or in this case viable roots). Yanna Fishman has worked with ginger and turmeric for many years and successfully cures the rhizomes and stores them over winter before re-sprouting again in early spring.
