turmeric bulb

Product Description

Turmeric bulb refers to the primary (main) part of the turmeric rhizome, which is thicker and more rounded than the slender turmeric fingers (which are secondary offshoots of the main rhizome).

Differences and Features of Turmeric Bulb:

• Appearance: Short, thick, and bulbous compared to long, thin turmeric fingers.

• Structure: It is the central root from which fingers branch out.

• Usage:

  • Sometimes used in processing turmeric powder, but less preferred due to lower curcumin content.

  • May be reserved for seed (planting) purposes in farming.

• Curcumin Content: Usually lower than fingers, which is why turmeric fingers are more valuable for commercial powder production.
