Fresh turmeric isn't as potent as dried turmeric, so you'll need to use more fresh turmeric in recipes to get the same effect. You can treat fresh turmeric similarly to fresh ginger, peeling it and then slicing, grating, or mincing it. Keep in mind when cooking with fresh or dried turmeric that it easily creates stains. You'll find a lingering yellow tinge on your cups, mugs, and cutting board, and the same goes for hands and fabric. Dress accordingly so you can enjoy this amazing spice without risking your favorite clothes. Then, have fun using it to create curries, smoothies, and much more!
