Turmeric Fingers, also known as whole turmeric rhizomes, are the root-like stems of the turmeric plant. They are harvested, boiled, and dried before being used in cooking and medicine. Turmeric fingers are prized for their rich golden-yellow color and the active compound curcumin, which gives turmeric its characteristic aroma and health benefits. These roots are widely used in culinary and traditional medicine for their vibrant color and healing properties.
