Organic Turmeric
A Seasonal Treasure from Hawaii

Certified organic Turmeric from Kolo Kai Organic Farm, Hawaii.
Just like fresh ginger, either grate or chop tumeric into tiny pieces. The fresh rhizomes store well if kept dry in the refrigerator - wipe dry if they are damp, then wrap with a paper towel before placing in a ziplock plastic bag; it will keep for weeks or even months.

In addition to being a unique and delicious addition to several foods, turmeric is known for its properties as an internal antiseptic and antidote to blood poisoning. In traditional folk medicine, the dried root is ground and rubbed on the skin to treat skin diseases; mixed with coconut oil, it speeds the healing of wounds and minimizes scarring.
