Ingredient Spotlight from Dolly Farms
Fresh Ginger and Fresh Turmeric
  • Most of us think of ginger as a powdered spice to be used in baking. In Asia, where ginger originated, it's more a savory ingredient. That's because fresh ginger packs tons of warm, pungent, peppery flavor that works so well with meats and vegetables.
  • Ginger pairs wonderfully with bananas (they are distant relatives), so add grated fresh ginger to banana bread or muffins.
  • Ginger also likes apples, so add it to applesauce and apple pie. Or combine it with apples and sugar and simmer to make a compote for topping pancakes.
  • Ginger can be stored in the refrigerator for several weeks or in the freezer for months, and is easier to grate when frozen.
  • The turmeric root and ginger root are from the same family and look very much alike.
  • Turmeric, with its brilliant yellow color, has been used as a dye, medicine and flavoring since 600 BC.
  • Turmeric is mildly aromatic and has scents of orange or ginger. It has a pungent, bitter flavor.
  • Use turmeric to add Eastern mystery to new favorites as well as in traditional curries, rice and chicken dinners and condiments.
  • It is a classic addition to chutneys, pickles and relishes.
  • Add a pinch of turmeric to fish soups, blend with melted butter, and drizzle over cooked pasta or potatoes.
  • Store in cool, dark, dry places.
