It’s Ridiculously Easy to Grow Your Own Unlimited Supply of Turmeric At Home! (VIDEO)

Lots of people think that the turmeric is for sure one of the most beneficial things to eat. A lot of studies were made and experts state that the nutrients and properties it has are one of the best for the human body.

How To Grow Turmeric Indoors

Turmeric grows into rhizomes-root cuttings, so you will need a large rhizome and then break it in small pieces with a couple of buds. Put a well drained, but still lightly moist, rich fertility soil in the pots and place the rhizomes 2 inches below its surface. The buds should be facing up.

Note: Turmeric will benefit from bi-monthly feedings of a good organic fertilizer or compost tea.

How To Water Turmeric

Turmeric likes water. Keep the soil moist, particularly in hot, dry climates. Try watering it once every 2 days or misting with a spray bottle. If you live in cooler climates, water less frequently. The key here is to keep the soil from ever getting soggy.

How To Harvest Turmeric

The edible rhizomes require 8-10 months before they are mature and ready for harvest. You can also eat the leaves and the stems as well, but most of the people are using only the roots from this spice. There are many herbs that are commonly harvested throughout the growing season, but this root is harvested all at once – when it is mature enough. So, once the rhizomes are large enough, you can get the rhizomes from the pot. It would be the best if you harvest them all at once. Get them all out and save several pieces for planting next season.

Note: you must change the soil, since all of the nutrients are depleted from the soil.

Storage and Use

Turmeric roots should be kept in a cool, dry place until use.

When you are ready to use them, follow these directions:

– Boil the roots for 45 minutes.
– Dry the turmeric for approximately one week.
– Then you should peel the turmeric roots (make sure you are wearing some rubber gloves because the root will dye your hands).
– Grind the turmeric roots and make a fine spice. This spice can be added in many meals and dishes.
